Jasper Engines & Transmissions has opened a branch office in Little Rock, Arkansas, to better serve businesses in and around Arkansas.

JASPER’s newest branch is located within the Crossroads Business Park at 1305 North Hills Boulevard, Suites 105 and 106, in North Little Rock.

“As we continue to expand our Nationwide footprint, improving our availability and customer service is something JASPER is very committed to,” said Kevin Powell, JASPER Director of Branch Operations. “Our new Little Rock facility will allow us to service most customers in this market with a JASPER truck up to five days a week.”

The 8,712 square-foot Little Rock facility will have diesel air and fuel components, gas and diesel engines, transmissions, and differentials in its inventory.

“The growth in Arkansas has exceeded our expectations,” said JASPER Regional Vice President Richard Olson. “So, having a physical location for our great customers is only natural.”

“Jasper Engines & Transmissions currently has 51 branch offices and two distribution centers, servicing the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico,” Olson added.

Larson Wins at Darlington in Xfinity Series with JASPER 4-Speed Transmission, Eckes Wins in Truck Series

Running a JASPER 4-Speed Transmission, Kyle Larson won Saturday's Shriners Children's 200 for the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Darlington Raceway. Larson took the lead from John Hunter Nemechek on the race's final lap. As the two cars made contact multiple times coming to the checkered flag, Larson's car bounced off the turn four wall, sending Nemechek into a spin, stopping short of the finish line. Justin Allgaier, Cole Custer, and Austin Hill finished second, third, and fourth. Nemechek finished fifth. Drivers using JASPER products took seven of the top ten finishing places. Christian Eckes, also running a JASPER 4-Speed Transmission, won Friday's Buckle Up South Carolina 200 for the NASCAR® Craftsman Truck Series at Darlington. Starting fourth, Eckes led a race-high 82 laps, earning his second series victory of 2023. Rajah Caruth finished sixth.
