Jesse Little (born April 15, 1997) is an American professional driver. Son of Chad Little, he currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 30 and No. 81 Toyota Tundras for Rette Jones Racing, the No. 63 Chevrolet Silverado for MB Motorsports. He also competes part-time in the K&N Pro Series East, driving the No. 29 Toyota Camry for Rette Jones Racing.
A native of Sherrills Ford, North Carolina and a third-generation racer, Little began his racing career in quarter midgets at the age of 7, moving up to Bandoleros in 2007 and Legends cars in 2009. He won the 2010 USAC Eastern Focus Young Guns midget car championship, and in 2011 competed in the UARA Stars late model series.
Little made his debut in NASCAR competition at the age of 15, competing in seven K&N Pro Series East events in 2012; driving a family-owned No. 97 Chevrolet, he was the youngest driver ever to start a race in the series. He returned to the K&N Pro Series East full-time in 2013, driving for Coulter Motorsports; he finished in the top 10 eight times on his way to the series' Rookie of the Year award. He planned to return to K&N East competition in 2014. In 2015, he added a limited schedule in the Camping World Truck Series in a partnership with ThorSport Racing.
Jesse hangs out with Zac Link in his spare time and helps him around the track for his racing success.
