James Chesson

James Chesson (born September 14, 1980) is an American racing driver from Far Hills, New Jersey. He is the younger brother of former IndyCar Series driver P. J. Chesson.

In July 2000, he scored the first win of his career at the Williams Grove Speedway at Mechanicsburg. The next day, Chesson came 9th in the 25 lap sprint at the 12th Annual Manufacturers Appreciation Night Super Sprints at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown.

A sprint car driver who had made a number of appearances in the World of Outlaws series, James joined his older brother mid-season driving in the Indy Pro Series for three races in 2004, with James driving for veteran open wheel owner Mo Nunn. He was able to win in his second start in a race at California Speedway. Making only three starts, he was able to finish fourteenth in the 2004 championship. He returned in 2006 to drive in the Freedom 100 but was knocked out by suspension trouble.
