This weekend we were short a driver, so we had an extra car. Todd decided to walk the pits and see if he could find a driver to fill the seat. Brian Verner has a daughter Leah who drives a junior for , but had unsuccessfully been trying to get his son Aaron to race. For some reason Aaron decided this weekend he’d try it. Saturday he took his time getting to know the car, figuring out how to race, but right off the bat he showed great potential cutting some killer lights! Sunday he woke up and told his dad he didn’t want to race, so Dad was really bummed. They came to our pit to break the bad news, but I told them I understand. Then I told him, it’s no pressure, it’s not like you’re trying to win a championship or anything, it would just be practice and fun and you’d get a lot of seat time here, and he changed his mind and decided to race! Well this kid had it all figured out by Sunday. The difference between Saturday and Sunday was night and day. Aaron ended up going to the finals and runnered up! Now the junior dragster community has a new racer who’s ready to make his mark! Ladies and gentlemen we introduce Aaron Verner, the latest competitor in the . Congratulations to Brian, Cheryl, Leah and Aaron on all your new adventures as you will finally get the whole family experience with junior drag racing!
