Miranda Throckmorton, fresh off an eye-opening season in which she garnered her first sprint car win and chased the track championship at Paragon (IN) Speedway to the final night, has announced that she will compete for Rookie-of-the-Year and Series Championship titles with the O’Reilly Midwest All Star Series in 2008, while also running ten to fifteen O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions events.
While the fifteen-year-old high school sophomore from Avon, IN. has primarily raced without a wing throughout her first two years of sprint car competition, she did compete in the Midwest All Stars event at Paragon as well as the All Star Circuit of Champions sanctioned Hoosier Fall Classic at Lawrenceburg Speedway in her first experience with a winged sprint car. Miranda captured a feature win at Paragon on May 19^th , in route to a fifth-place finish in the season points championship, finishing just sixty markers from the title.
Before moving to sprint cars during the 2006 season, Miranda won ten championships and set four track records in quarter midgets and also competed in Kenyan midgets and micro-sprints. She has also distinguished herself off the track as a top student and public speaker, including delivering the keynote address at the NAMARS awards banquet. She also was selected to and participated in the prestigious Lynn St. James Driver Development Program, where she gained not only valuable on-track experience, but had valuable training in marketing, media relations, public speaking and other areas as well.
Miranda Throckmorton will join Team Maxim for the 2008 racing season, driving her familiar # 22 sprint car, sponsored by Bond and Associates and Eubank Mobile Home Transport. She’ll join an outstanding group of racers that form the nucleus of the Midwest All Star Series, like 2007 series champion Jerrod Hull, Rob and Jeremy Standridge, A.J. Bruns, Ryan Bunton, Jimmy Hurley, Tim Montgomery and Tiffany Wyzard, among others.
This past season witnessed over one hundred and thirty different drivers in competition during sixteen races throughout Illinois, Missouri and Indiana. The 2008 schedule is being prepared with twenty-five to thirty races expected to be held.
