At Race Mode Co, we love watching young racers grow through the sport, take on new challenges, and celebrate the victories that come from years of hard work. This week's featured racer is doing exactly that.
Meet 12-year-old Junior Dragster racer Landon Parsley, a dedicated competitor who has already spent half of his life chasing win lights.
Meet Landon Parsley
Age: 12
Hometown: Beauty, Kentucky
Racing Class: 7.90 Junior Dragster
Home Track: 304 Motorsports Park
Landon began racing when he was just six years old, and over the past six years, his love for drag racing has continued to grow.
This season marked an exciting milestone in his racing career as he made the move into the competitive 7.90 Junior Dragster class.
Stepping up to a faster class always brings new challenges, but Landon has embraced the opportunity and is enjoying every minute behind the wheel.
Battling for a Championship
Landon isn't just adapting to his new class—he's already making his presence known.
Currently sitting second in the points standings at 304 Motorsports Park, he's locked in an exciting championship battle with someone very familiar.
Just two points separate Landon from first place, currently held by his sister.
Friendly sibling rivalries can make for some of the most memorable moments in racing, and every race weekend brings another opportunity for the Parsley family to battle it out on the track.
A Season to Remember
This year has already been filled with trips to the winner's circle.
Landon has collected multiple event victories throughout the season, but one accomplishment stands above the rest.
Winning the Rod Trophy has become his proudest racing achievement so far.
For any racer, earning a special trophy is about more than bringing home hardware. It's a reminder of the hard work, dedication, and countless passes it took to reach that moment.
Six Years of Growth
Starting at just six years old has allowed Landon to build valuable experience behind the wheel.
Every season has helped him develop as both a driver and a competitor, preparing him for the move into the highly competitive 7.90 class.
That experience is paying off as he continues to race for wins and championship points each weekend.
Looking Ahead
With six years of racing experience, multiple wins this season, and a tight points battle unfolding at his home track, the future looks incredibly bright for Landon.
As he continues gaining experience in the 7.90 class, there's no doubt he'll keep building on this season's success and adding more trophies to his collection.
We'll definitely be watching to see how the championship chase plays out.
From everyone at Race Mode Co, we're proud to feature Landon Parsley and wish him the best of luck for the rest of the season.
