KENT, Wash. — Rookie of the Year candidate Sienna Wildgust will make her debut with Elite Motorsports in a Cuadra branded Pro Stock car at this weekend’s NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways.
“I am feeling very excited and blessed for my first race with Elite,” Wildgust said. “I am excited to work with everyone and thankful for Erica’s help in the whole process. We haven’t gone testing yet so we are excited to see what the car will do that first session.”
Wildgust, a third generation drag racer, will be competing in her seventh race of the 2024 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series season. Through her first six races, she qualified for race day at the Winternationals and both Four-Wide events in Las Vegas and Charlotte. Wildgust, who is from Ontario, will be making her first pass down Pacific Raceways Friday afternoon.
“I have never raced at Seattle before. I am excited to see another racetrack and see another state that I have never been to,” Wildgust said. “There’s going to be a lot that is new this weekend. Luckily, I’ve had the chance to be in the Elite pits the last couple races. I’ve loved watching their team dynamic, they all work so well together and really support each other”
Wildgust will have the Cuadra brand on the side of her car while the Cuadra Boys are away on business for the next two races. The brothers saw an opportunity to keep their brand represented at NHRA while also supporting their new teammate as she continues her Pro Stock career.
“I’m so grateful to the Cuadra family that they’d let me represent their brand out on the NHRA circuit while they take care of business overseas,” Wildgust said. “Everything has really just come together to make this transition seamless.”
