Jarrett played a role in the formation of the NASCAR Busch Series as a 12-year coordinator of the Series, and as a representative for Anheuser-Busch.

He began his Cup Series career in 1959 and won two races on a limited schedule. In 1960, his first full year competing in the Cup Series, he won five races and was fifth in championship points.
