Congratulations to Hutch Harger, Oakley White, Kane Kern, Gage Wilson, and Camron Nelson on winning 2023ÌýÌýtitles during the Jr. E.T. Finals atÌý!

Hutch Harger (age 6-9), Oakley White (10-12), Kane Kern (13-14), Gage Wilson (15-17), and Camron Nelson (Race of Champions) scored top honors during the Division 4 Jr. E.T. Finals at Ardmore Dragway. Pine Valley Raceway earned the team title.

After taking a .015 to .081 lead at the Tree, Harger eased his dragster to an 11.994 (12.03 dial) to best the 11.992 (12.06) of Maxtyn Pavloc in the 6-9 class final.

White got the automatic nod in the 10-12 age-group title round when NHRA Right Trailers Western Conference Finals champ Colton Farley red-lighted. White celebrated with a 9.022 (9.00) victory lap.

In the 13-14 final, Landon Emmons was better at the Tree, but he carried too much momentum on the top end and broke out with a 7.967 (7.97). That opened the door for Kern, who won with an on-the-dial 7.937.

Nelson ran right on his 7.96 dial to claim the Race of Champions title over Mario Gonzales, who broke out with a 7.926 (7.97).
