This past weekend at the WDRA Summit
Racing Equipment Eastern Bracket
Finals, MIR claimed the Team
Championship with 90 points! The
points chase was tight for the first
two rounds then the MIR racers
started separating themselves in the
points chase by the end of third
round with an 18-point lead. We
solidified the Team Championship
with 90 points, and the next closest
team was Empire with 55 points. As
for Individual racers, Royce Miller
turned on a few win lights in the
Track Operators Race before facing
Megan Bunch from Sumerduck in the
finals. Royce found the win light
once again and started the points
tally for MIR. Joey Mattera in Box,
Bobby Mattera in No Box and Brandon
Jenkins represented in the Race of
Champions but came up short.
Congratulations team Keystone,
Empire and Beaver Springs for their
wins in the Race of Champions.
 In
the main event starting with the
Junior Dragsters, we made it to the
fourth round with only 11 juniors
left and 8 of them were from MIR,
forcing team mates to run each
other. Junior semi’s consisted of
all MIR racers; Brandon Jenkins,
Kaiden Groves and Calvin Weaver.
Calvin got the bye to the finals and
Kaiden took the win over Brandon
sending him to the finals to face
Calvin. Kaiden and Calvin take the
tree, and Kaiden comes out on top.
Congratulations Kaiden Groves on
your WDRA Eastern Bracket Finals
Junior Dragster Championship!
In No Box, Brian Reibert Jr, Jake
Milstead, Keven Yates and Bobby
Mattera were holding it down later
in the rounds turning on win lights.
Keven Yates found himself in the
buyback rounds after a first-round
loss but worked his way back into
the main event. Bobby Mattera worked
his way to the finals to run Mark
Talmadge from Empire where Mark
would find a red-light sending Bobby
to the winner's circle for
back-to-back No Box WDRA Eastern
Bracket Finals Championships!
Congratulations Bobby!
In Box, Mickey Nelson, Rickey
Nelson, Kyle Rollins, Joey Mattera,
Bobby Mattera and Buddy McGowan did
the heavy lifting collecting point
after point for MIR. Mickey Nelson
and Buddy McGowan were the last two
MIR racers standing in Box as we
went into the semis. Mickey came up
a little short, but Buddy found his
way to the finals. Buddy McGowan and
Mike Fornwalt from Beaver Springs
took the tree in the finals, Mike
took the win over Buddy for the
championship.
Congratulations Ayden Robinson on
winning Best Appearing Junior
Dragster.
Shout out to the best junior parents
around for going above and beyond!
Congratulations Team MIR!!
