17 tracks have announced their intentions to attend the Inaugural Junior Dragster Team Finals at Maryland International Raceway on July 31 - August 2, 2009. IHRA and NHRA tracks can send three teams of ten junior competitors to each of the two Junior Dragster Team Finals.  

“Our team was excited last year when the championship came down to a four way tie in the finals but winning the team championship was such a great accomplishment. I was proud of everyone of the kids on our team. We are coming back this year and defending our title.”

General Manager Johnny Davis echo’s his sediments and adds, “Team Richmond Dragway is pumped about the upcoming Junior Nationals at MIR – it’s going to be a great chance to showcase our racers talents against the other tracks and come home with the Ironman! Kudos to IHRA for making a great Junior Dragster program even better with the new team concept!”

“The excitement of our tracks and our racers is contagious,” says Sherrie Barbour, IHRA’s Director of Junior Dragsters. “We have always believed in the strength of our tracks and that the Junior Dragsters are the future of our sport.”
