Jeff Krogh

Jeff Krogh (born March 21, 1972) is an American former professional race car driver, who competed in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series and the NASCAR Winston West Series. He was seriously injured in a crash during the 1999 Busch Grand National season and never returned to competition.

Personal life Krogh was born in Kamiah, Idaho in 1972. Brother of fellow NASCAR driver Mark Krogh, he is married to Karla and has five children.

Career Winston West and Winston Cup Series After starting his career at local tracks in the western United States, Krogh moved up to the NASCAR Winston West Series in 1996. Competing full-time in the series, he competed in fourteen of the fifteen events that season, finishing second in both the championship chase and the Rookie-of-the-Year competition to Lance Hooper.

Krogh was credited as scoring a single victory over the course of the season. This was in the first of two races the Winston West Series ran during the season at Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma, California; the event was a combination event with the NASCAR Winston Cup Series Save Mart Supermarkets 300. Krogh qualified 28th for the race; he finished 35th overall in the event, but first among Winston West competitors; a second combination race later that year at Phoenix International Raceway saw Krogh finishing 41st overall and second among Winston West Series drivers to eventual champion Hooper; these were the only Winston Cup events he would compete in.

Busch Series Following the 1996 season, Krogh, along with his brother, moved to the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series, still competing for his family's race team. Over the next three years, he competed in 57 events, with a best finish of fifth at Texas Motor Speedway in 1998. Krogh spent over a year in recovery and rehabilitation. He was able to return to normal life, but has no memory of the accident, and never competed in racing competition again.
