Racing career

[edit]

In 1997, Sarff made his debut in the 1997 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, driving the No. 48 Pontiac for his own team, Capital City Motorsports, where he started in 32nd but finished in 39th due to a crash early in the race. Sarff then made four starts for James Hylton Motorsports in 1998, driving the No. 44 Buick, where he earned a best finish of eighteenth at Shady Bowl Speedway, and would make sporadic starts for his own team and for Hylton from 1999 to 2000.

In 2001, Sarff ran all but five races held that year, driving a variety of entries fielded by his own team, Hylton, Norm Benning Racing, Del Markle, Mark Gibson Racing, and Cunningham Motorsports, getting two top ten finishes with a best result of ninth at Nashville Superspeedway on his way to finish thirteenth in the final points standings. He then attempted the full 2002 schedule, only failing to qualify for the event at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Throughout the year, he earned six top twenty finishes with a best finish of thirteenth at Nashville, and finished seventeenth in the final points standings.

In 2003, Sarff only ran three races, finishing in the top-twenty four times and earned a best finish of tenth in his final start of the year at Talladega Superspeedway, For the following year, Sarff announced that the team acquired sponsorship from Quaker Steak and Lube for the 2004 season, although he only made three starts with his own team.[1] He also attempted two more races that year, one for Mark Gibson Racing at South Boston Speedway, where he finished 28th due to transmission issues, and the other for Wayne Peterson Racing at Gateway International Raceway, where he failed to qualify.

After not racing in the series from 2005 to 2009, Sarff announced that he would attempt to qualify for the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway, driving his self-owned No. 38 Dodge, although he ultimately failed to qualify for the race.[2] He stated that the Daytona event would be the only race he would attempt, as he would hand the driving duties of No. 38 to Alex Kennedy,[2] although he did drive the No. 28 Chevrolet for Hixson Motorsports at Texas Motor Speedway, where he started seventeenth but finished 32nd after running only seventeen laps due to rear end issues. The Texas event is his most recent event as a driver, as he has not raced in the series since then.[3]
