Richmond Dragway and Northeast Dragway have announced their intentions to attend the Inaugural Junior Dragster Team Finals at Maryland International Raceway on August 2-3, 2008. IHRA and NHRA tracks can send three teams of ten junior competitors to each of the two Junior Dragster Team Finals. The other event will be held on June 28-29, 2008 at Pittsburgh Raceway Park. Tracks can choose to attend both events or either event and must register with IHRA prior to the event.
 “We are excited about the possibility of NHRA tracks joining us. Our racers want to show them what real competition and team finals fun is all about. Our racers are busy raising money to pay their way. I’m very proud of them,” says Northeast Dragway operator, Tony Trueblood.
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.”
