Wednesday, 16 November 2022

HOUSE SPRINGS, Missouri — If the 2022 racing season is any indication, the future looks bright for racing in the Volunteer State.

Headlined by International Hot Rod Association World Champion Aubrey Loy, three young racers from Tennessee are part of the IHRA Summit SuperSeries Junior Dragster National Top 10 list.

Loy is the second IHRA Junior Dragster World Champion from Knoxville Dragway in four years following 2019 champion Kaden Harrill. She’s also carrying the track’s tradition which includes 2019 Top World Champion George Simpson and the 2017 Mod runner-up Travis Loy, her father.

Other young racers from Tennessee in the top 10 included Brendan Nuttall from nearby Cherokee Race Park and Vayda Ballentine from Gleason Raceway Park.

There were multiple tracks from Iowa and New York also represented on the top 10 list.

However, the Lone Star State is home to IHRA Junior Dragster runner-up Cayden Keyes. The Texas driver represented Penwell Knights Raceway at the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World FInals.
