Crew chief
In 1997, Reiser decided to stop his racing career in the Busch Grand National Series, he put snowmobile racer Tim Bender in his car. Bender got hurt after the eighth race, so he put his former Wisconsin competitor Matt Kenseth in the drivers seat until Bender recovered. Kenseth was quickly successful. Then Reiser and Kenseth combined for a second place finish in 1998 and a third place finish in 1999. In 2000, Jack Roush hired Kenseth, Reiser, and their entire Busch team to run full time in Winston Cup. The combination was again successful. They rapidly moved up the final points each year.
