The weekend began with the Pit Vehicle Race, where Kaden Pruett and Colt Saum won against Carson Wied, with Bailey Benda as a semi-finalist. On Friday, Cohen Brakefield and Hayden Land triumphed in the two Off-the-Trailer Shootouts, defeating Emma Green and Tommy Stuckey, respectively. That day also featured a combined $10,000 main event due to anticipated weather, whereby ‘Stumpman’ Jace Esneault beat Gage Blevens in the final.
Saturday’s highlight was the $5,000 Team Race, won by The Water Quackers (composed of Emma Green, Charlie Farrow, Brendan Nutall, McKinley Mann, and Noah Jent) against Team P.A.K. Last-standing 6-9-year-old racer Jaxson Jensen also received a bonus for his efforts.
Awards honored the best in engineering and appearance, with Trenton Tindle and Jason Johnson respectively recognized for their achievements. Overall, the Thanksgiving Jr. Nationals celebrated the skills and sportsmanship of junior drag racers, culminating in significant wins and memorable moments for all participants.
