Young Dynamic Duo Takes on Nitro Jam 2015

Daytona Beach, FL – The Florida based jet racing teams of Larsen Motorsports announced today that this young duo will take on Nitro Jam In 2015.  The Matrix Automotive Paint Jet Racing Team entry will be led by Larsen Motorsports own Andrew Larsen (18) as crew chief wrenching for driver Katarina Moller (20) on the Matrix Systems Jet Dragster.

Andrew Larsen, son of team owners Chris and Elaine Larsen, grew up with drag racing. At six weeks old he was at the drag strip watching his mom race the family’s injected, alcohol, big block Chevy powered Super Pro car. By age seven Andrew was helping in the shop disassembling jet engines. Finally in 2014, he led his mom and team boss, Elaine Larsen, to an IHRA World Championship as her crew chief of the Miller Welding Jet Dragster.

“I said it before and I will say it again,  I believe consistency wins championships” said Andrew Larsen. “If you watch the best teams of all time consistency is how they got there. With my new driver Kat, we plan to consistently show what a leading force a pair of kids that grew up at the racetrack can be. We are both young, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been paying attention. The Matrix Systems car is one of the quickest and fastest cars in our company’s fleet. It set low elapsed time twice in 2014 and Kat is a great race car driver. We have a real chance to win.”

Twenty year old 2014 rookie, Kat Moller will be at the wheel of the Matrix Systems entry. Moller, a mechanical engineering student, is focusing on a professional racing career and started driving for the Larsen Team in 2014. She is another classic example of a junior dragster driver going pro. Moller began drag racing at the age of eleven. She advanced her racing career as she progressively moved up in classes to her family’s super pro dragster. Since the age of eleven she has dreamed of driving for a championship caliber professional race team and in 2015 her dream will come true making a run at the 2015 IHRA Nitro Jam championship.
