Mia Tedesco charges to the top of Top Alcohol class at drag racing’s premier race
INDIANAPOLIS – It only took Mia Tedesco 5.244 seconds to make her mark at the 62nd annual Chevrolet 
Performance U.S. Nationals when she roared down Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis at a top speed of 276.75 mph to assume the No. 1 qualifier spot in Top Alcohol Dragster.
It was a true zero-to-hero moment for the upstart driver from Pittsburgh, who was literally last on the timing sheet heading into the fourth and final time trial, but her Dave Hirata-tuned CARS Protection Plus/Schepel Motors/NGK/Lucas Oil dragster was flawless in her last pass, sending a loud and clear message to the rest of the field.
Sportsman star Mia Tedesco has two chances at U.S. Nationals glory
INDIANAPOLIS – Sportsman star Mia Tedesco is doing her best to contain her excitement for racing in the Chevrolet 
Performance U.S. Nationals this weekend at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
That’s because the 22-year-old driver knows she has a shot at winning the prestigious race — perhaps even two chances.
Tedesco has won twice with her CARS Protection Plus/Schepel Motors/NGK/Lucas Oil Top Alcohol Dragster and twice with her CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels Super Gas Chevrolet Cavalier over the last couple of months, and she has entered both cars in Indianapolis.
“That’s probably the coolest race to win,” Tedesco said. “It’s one of the biggest accomplishments you could have. Winning it is definitely something to think about, but I try not to think about it too much and get too psyched up about it. I just try to treat it like a normal race, do my best, and see how that goes.”
Sportsman star Mia Tedesco on a roll heading into Brainerd
BRAINERD, MN – The summer months have been kind to emerging Sportsman superstar Mia Tedesco.
Dating back to early June, Tedesco has walked away with four victories, including a win at her most recent race in her Top Alcohol Dragster.
This weekend, Tedesco will look to keep her winning ways going when she races her CARS Protection Plus/Schepel Motors/NGK/Lucas Oil Top Alcohol Dragster and CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels Super Comp Chevrolet Cavalier in the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway.
“It’s been a pretty amazing month, month and a half,” Tedesco said. “Even going back to winning Super Gas at the Chicago divisional in June, from there on out it’s been pretty incredible in both classes. Our confidence level is pretty high right now. Everything is working really well, and we’re at a good point.”
Track-record run powers Mia Tedesco to Division 3 Top Alcohol Dragster win
MADISON, IL – Mia Tedesco had to wait a while before celebrating her NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series victory 
Saturday night at Gateway Motorsports Park.
That’s because after earning the Wally for winning the Division 3 race in Top Alcohol Dragster with her CARS Protection Plus/Schepel Motors/NGK/Lucas Oil car, Tedesco had to go jump in her Super Gas car.
Tedesco ended up falling in the semifinals with her CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels Super Gas Chevrolet, but a win and a semifinal appearance is a stellar weekend.
“After I won in the dragster, I ran the fifth round in Super Gas and then lost in the sixth round,” Tedesco said. “It’s something that I’m actually a little used to now. The first time, it was really hard because you want to race, but you’re jacked up. Now, I don’t let myself accept that I’ve won and I don’t celebrate or anything.”
Winning is on Mia Tedesco’s mind for Division 3 race at Gateway
MADISON, IL – A superb 2016 season has NHRA Sportsman driver Mia Tedesco sitting in a lofty perch in two separate points standings, but heading into the NAPA All-American Hot Rod Showdown, a Division 3 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series race this weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park, points aren’t anywhere on the 22-year-old’s mind.
“It’s still early to even start worrying about that,” Tedesco said. “We’re not really focused on points, divisionally or nationally. We’re just trying to go win races and go rounds and have some fun.”
Tedesco is in second place in the North Central Region Top Alcohol Dragster standings as her CARS Protection Plus/Schepel Motors/NGK/Lucas Oil car is one point out of the lead, and her CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels Super Gas Chevrolet is second in the Division 3 standings.
Deadliest Catch star “Wild Bill” Wichrowski joins Mia Tedesco this weekend
NEW ALEXANDRIA, PA – Captain “Wild Bill” Wichrowski, star of Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, will be a 
guest of CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels driver Mia Tedesco when she races at her hometown track this weekend.
Tedesco, a rising star in NHRA drag racing, is competing in a $10,000-to-win bracket race this weekend at Keystone Raceway Park. Michael Tedesco, Mia’s dad, became friends with Wichrowski after they met last year.
“It’s pretty awesome,” Mia Tedesco said of having Wichrowski at the racetrack this weekend. “We met him in Bristol (Tenn.) last year, and he and my dad became pretty good friends. Last year, he stayed at our house for a few weeks, and we hung out a bunch. He’s back in our house again this week. It’s pretty cool. We hang out, play golf; he’s a cool guy. He’s real supportive and likes watching drag racing.”
Mia Tedesco looks to extend personal winning streak
PITTSBURGH, PA – Mia Tedesco’s star continues to rise after winning back-to-back races for the first time in her 
young career.
Now, the CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels driver will go for another achievement: Win at her home track.
Tedesco followed up a victory in Super Gas at the NHRA national event in Chicago with a win in Top Alcohol Dragster last weekend at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio.
CARS Protection Plus racer Mia Tedesco brings winning ways to Buckeye Fuel Wars
HEBRON, OH – Fresh off a huge Super Gas victory 10 days ago at the national event in Chicago, Sportsman standout 
Mia Tedesco arrives at National Trail Raceway ready to bolster her standing in the divisional, regional, and national points at this weekend’s Buckeye Fuel Wars.
Tedesco actually will have two chances to score as she plans to race both her CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels Chevrolet Cavalier in Super Gas and her CARS Protection Plus/Schepel Motors/NGK/Lucas Oil rail in Top Alcohol Dragster.
“We’d love to have another big weekend in both cars,” Tedesco said. “The Super Gas car is running great. The guys gave me a perfect car every round in Chicago, and I was able to do my job behind the wheel and we got that win. It was a huge deal for all of us because that’s been a longtime goal to win in that class.
“I’d like to see us go some rounds in Alcohol. We’ve struggled a little bit the last few races with the dragster, and it would be good to see us correct that this weekend.”
Chicago Super Gas victory a career highlight for emerging star Mia Tedesco
PITTSBURGH – The smile is still on Mia Tedesco’s face nearly a week after scoring a national event victory in Super 
Gas at Route 66 Raceway in Chicago.
The young Sportsman star had been trying for a win in the cutthroat class for several years before finally breaking through at the K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals last weekend.
“This is way up there,” Tedesco said. “I’ve won a few bracket races, divisionals, and one national event in the alcohol car, but when I won in Super Gas, it’s because I did everything right. The car was good all day, we all made good decisions, and I drove well.”
Tedesco drove the CARS Protection Plus/VP Racing Fuels Cavalier to the winner’s circle after capping a terrific weekend by beating Gabriel Torres in the final round. Tedesco had a superb .008-second reaction time to go with a 9.926-second pass on the 9.90 index to beat Torres, who had a .059 light and broke out.
