Maynard Family Racing and Ida Zetterström Ready for Indy

Indianapolis – This is year 2 for Zetterström competing at the U.S. Nationals.  Her first Big GO was in 2024.  Last year’s Indianapolis race was Zetterström’s second NHRA event after making her American Top Fuel debut with JCM Racing in Brainerd, Minn. where she advanced to the semifinals

The Indianapolis event is a home race for Zetterström, who relocated to the area from Finland in early 2024 to be near the Brownsburg-based JCM Racing team

“Excited for the biggest race of the year. Last year, it was a big accomplishment for us to qualify in one of the toughest fields ever and then we went on to win first round. We’re hoping to do at least that this year; we need a good bounce back weekend,” explained Ida.

“We’ll have several sponsors in the house, including Leatherwood Distillery and Bourbon City Golf Carts, and that’s always fun. We hope to put on a good show for them. We’re kicking off the festivities with an autograph signing at Cruz Pedregon’s Open House Thursday night, and then ready for a long weekend and some win lights on Monday.”
