Jade Buford is an American racing driver whose background spans open-wheel, sports car, and stock car competition, including a part-time NASCAR Xfinity Series stint driving the No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro for SS-Green Light Racing. That varied foundation eventually led him into Trans-Am TA2 competition, where his record now stands at 56 career starts. Across that body of work he has produced one podium finish but has yet to secure a series win or championship, reflecting a career built more on consistency and experience across disciplines than on outright victories.[1]
In the 2026 season, Buford competed in 8 rounds of TA2 action, recording a single podium and no wins, and he currently sits P54 in the standings. His Racer Rating of 2,449 places him 4,329th among active drivers on the scale, indicating a competitive but modest standing relative to the sport's top performers. Now listed as retired, Buford's motorsport résumé closes with a career total of one podium from 56 starts, a mark of a driver who moved through multiple racing disciplines before settling into the Trans-Am TA2 ranks.[2]
