Team MIR wins the NHRA Eastern Conference Finals Team Championship!

07/18/2026

 

Team MIR took 50 junior dragster drivers to Bristol to compete for the National Championship with Valarie Wright winning the championship for the 16-17 class. Reagan Ketterman was able to runner up in the 12 year old class and deep runs by Abby Norment and Tyler Lusby helped secure the MIR Team Championship.

   
Thanks to our sponsors, we were able to have a big check challenge with Valarie Wright taking The President award for $500 for best overall driver. Rowan “The Robot” Parlett won the Sharpshooter for best reaction times and Maverick for best finish line driving. Then Bobby Dudley won the Babe Ruth Parent award for dialing the car the best.

     
There were over 550 junior dragster drivers competing and team MIR made their presence known round after round. Special thanks to all the families that helped and participated and we look forward to doing it again next year.


We’ve always said that MIR has the best Jr. dragster drivers in the country and now we have the Diamond Wally to back it up

 

Congratulations Team America!
