Elaine Larsen Wins IHRA’s World Champion in her Miller Welding Jet Dragster

Daytona Beach, FL – Elaine Larsen, driver in the IHRA’s Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series, was crowned World Champion at the IHRA Summit World Finals at Memphis International Raceway in her Miller Welding jet-powered drag car.

“I just can’t believe we did it! The Miller Welding Larsen Motorsports jet dragster team proved strong all season long and with the support from our fans and the series we came out on top,” said Elaine Larsen.

“Consistency won this championship,” said Crew Chief Andrew Larsen. “Luck will give you good or bad races, but consistency wins championships. Our strategy was simple, don’t change the car unless it was really throwing us a curveball.”

Larsen Motorsports and their all-female lineup spent the last eight months traveling to 12 venues across the United States and Canada. Larsen found herself neck-and-neck against teammate, Marisha Falk in the Embry Riddle jet dragster throughout the course of the season, but she set the pace in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada where she’d go on to capture the title. Driver of the Matrix Automotive Systems, Kat Moller and newcomer, Allison West, piloting the Larsen Motorsports jet car had head turning battles becoming some of the crowd’s favorites.

“These ladies are fierce and we’re all competing with one trophy in mind. What’s most important to me is that Marisha, Kat, Allison and I get to that finish line fast and safe every time. With many thanks to our partners and without a doubt a ton of appreciation to everyone at Larsen Motorsports we had yet another successful year,” Larsen said.

Team Co-owner, Chris Larsen, concluded the season with this statement, “To me, it’s not just about taking titles. It’s about building some of the highest quality jet cars in the IHRA and bringing great entertainment to the IHRA Nitro-Jam fans.

Larsen Motorsports looks forward to the 2015 IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series schedule and the Larsen Motorsport driver line-up which will be released in the next few weeks.
