The Junior Dragster Experience
When NHRA introduced the Jr. Drag Racing League, I was 11 years old. Like any 11-year-old that ate, slept and breathed racing, I pestered my father until he built me one.

In this episode of the Daily Driver, I am joined by regular ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE guest instructor, former World NHRA Champion, multi-time division and track Champion, Mikie Sturgill. I wanted to talk with Mikie about strategic flexibility and in particular how he got to the level he’s at in that flexibility.
Learning from each (& every) run
