1994 saw Jarrett return to a track that had provided early success for both his father and grandfather at Hickory Motor Speedway. While competing in the Limited Sportsman Division, he scored one victory and one pole, along with earning Rookie-of-the-Year honors. In 1995, Jarrett moved into the Winston Racing Series Late Model Stock Division, where he spent the next three seasons honing his skills at the famed oval.

Jarrett has not competed in the series since.

He mainly stayed out of trouble and finished the race in 29th despite being four laps down. Jarrett has spotted in all three NASCAR national series, for Newman in Cup, Ryan Truex in the Xfinity Series, and John Hunter Nemechek in the Camping World Truck Series.
