Jarzombek drove modifieds at Waterford-New London and Plainville, as well as southern tracks including Wall Stadium, Martinsville, Trenton and New Smyrna.
Jarzombek died from injuries sustained in a racing accident, when his throttle appeared to hang, at Martinsville Speedway during the March 22, 1987 event.

For many years at Riverhead Raceway in New York State, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour would run one extra lap in their feature races in his memory.
