Peyton’s brother Landon, also races a Junior Dragster alongside her.

His Race Car

Peyton’s current Junior Dragster is a 2007 RPC equipped with a Huddleston Ultimate Sniper 8.90 motor. Her Papa purchased this Junior Dragster for her at the end of 2022 from Texas. Although she is still in the process of learning how to work and maintain her car, Peyton is already taking on various responsibilities. Her responsibilities include loading and unloading, cleaning, fueling, and managing tire pressure. At her last race, she even took on the task of changing her own oil.

Outside of Racing

When Peyton isn’t behind the wheel of her Junior Dragster, she enjoys spending time with her friends, riding quads, cheering, and swimming. She also likes to talk on the phone with her friends, play Roblox, and attend music concerts. Her favorite music artist is Machine Gun Kelly. One thing most people don’t know about her is that she has two brothers.

Accomplishments

In Peyton’s first racing season, she earned the Division 6 Race of Champions runner-up and was the Bremerton Raceway 2nd Chance season points leader.
