One of the things that gives me hope for the future of stock-car racing locally is the amount of younger drivers competing right now. Some drivers are as young as age 12!
Using myracepass.com (which lists the ages of most drivers), I compiled a list of RaceChaser area drivers who are 18 and younger. Almost all are go-kart graduates.
Some of the group are already pretty experienced drivers for their age — Tye Wilke and Brody Carlsrud in the INEX Legends, Kelsi Pederson in the Lightning Sprints, Alyssa White in the IMCA Hobby Stocks.
So for the fun of it, I researched and did this list. I’m sure I am missing some names on this list — if you have a name to add, let me know and I will add them.
The driver’s age is listed in parentheses and their car number, division, and hometown are also listed. Any 2020 feature wins are listed as well at the end.
