'''Jason Paul Schuler''' (born February 24, 1972) is an American former [[stock car racing]] driver. He competed in the [[NASCAR Busch Series]] from [[2000 NASCAR Busch Series|2000]] to [[2004 NASCAR Busch Series|2004]]. He is currently building cars for JJ Fabrication, Inc. (formerly Pathfinder Chassis), the company he owns and operates along with Joe Wood in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.<ref name="CapitalTimes">{{cite magazine |last=Madsen |first=Tamira |title=Kenseth gives local duo's body of work a seal of approval |magazine=[[The Capital Times]] |location=[[Madison, Wisconsin]] }}</ref>

==Racing career==
Schuler made his first starts in the Busch Series in 2000 when fellow Cambridge native and childhood friend [[Matt Kenseth]], a full-time Cup Series driver, offered him a ride for twelve races in the No. 17 [[Visine]] Chevy for [[Reiser Enterprises]] that Kenseth was driving part-time.<ref name=CapitalTimes /> His best finish on the year was 14th at both [[World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway|Gateway]] (where he led two laps) and at [[New Hampshire Motor Speedway|New Hampshire]]. Schuler struggled, only earning four top-20 finishes, leading to his release at the end of the season in favor of [[Clay Rogers]].

Schuler only made two starts in [[2001 NASCAR Busch Series|2001]], both for [[Buckshot Racing]]. Schuler finished 41st at Gateway and 35th at [[Pikes Peak International Raceway|Pikes Peak]] in the No. 04, a second part-time car for the team.

Schuler only ran five times in [[2002 NASCAR Busch Series|2002]], all for the [[Havill-Spoerl Racing]] team. However, the team did not finish any of the starts, and Schuler's best finish was a pair of 36ths.

Schuler made the most races of his career in [[2003 NASCAR Busch Series|2003]], when Havill-Spoerl went full-time and Schuler made twenty-seven starts. His best run (and career finish) came at [[Nashville Superspeedway|Nashville]], where he finished 13th. In addition, Schuler added on two more top-twenties at Talladega and Gateway. At Pikes Peak, Schuler led eleven laps under caution before falling out in 28th. Schuler finished 28th in points, the highest he has ever ranked in NASCAR.

Schuler began 2004 by making six starts for [[Davis Motorsports]] in the No. 10 Chevy. Schuler finished four of those starts and had a best finish of 27th at [[North Carolina Speedway]]. He also made a start for Allen Racing at the [[Milwaukee Mile]], where he finished 42nd.

After being without a ride for the [[2005 NASCAR Busch Series|2005]] season, Schuler returned to Wisconsin to drive late models and bought Pathfinder Chassis / JJ Motorsports Racing in 2005 along with Jon Wood based on Kenseth's recommendation; they moved the race car manufacturing shop to [[Sun Prairie, Wisconsin]].<ref name=CapitalTimes /> In 2010, he was crew chief for [[Ross Kenseth]] and [[Ty Majeski]].<ref name="PostCrescent12012001">{{cite magazine |last=Goff |first=Tom |date=December 1, 2010 |title=Seymour Teen Making Fast Rise in Racing |magazine=[[The Post Crescent]] |location=[[Appleton, Wisconsin]] |publisher=Gannett }}</ref>
