Tim Jordan (born June 15, 1984) of Plainfield, CT, is a race car driver in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series. Jordan began racing at the age of 17 in Mini Stocks at the rainbow Speedbowl. He raced from 2002–2004, earning Rookie of the Year in 2002, and second overall in points in 2003 and 2004. He won a division-leading five races in 2004.
In 2005, Jordan took a season off so his race team, Jordan Racing, could financially prepare for moving up to Late Models in 2006. Jordan is a third-generation racer. His grandfather, Ron "Sly" Fox, raced in the late 1970s at Waterford in Super Stocks and Modifieds. His uncle, Tom Fox, has raced in Late Models, Modifieds, the Busch Grand National East Series, and the Whelen Modified Tour.
Jordan Racing is owned by Patrick and Debra Jordan, Jordan's parents.
