episode 67: Two Time World Champion NHRA Drag Racer Megan Meyer Proves there’s much more to this Record Holding, Red Dirt, Driven By Social Country Girl!
They often say that greatness comes as much from experience as it does within.
As a child, Megan Meyer watched her father’s own pursuits of racing greatness as a World Champion tuner, owner, and driver. By the age of ten, she was behind the wheel of her own junior dragster where she earned back-to-back points championships at her local Kansas City drag strip.
By 16 while having to handle the transportation, servicing, and driving duties on her own, she served as top and bottom-end mechanic for her family-owned Top Alcohol Dragster where she learned the techniques of the race car, and in 2013, began piloting at test-n-tune days.
In 2015, Megan earned her NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster license and had an outstanding debut in 2016 with a winning-streak that was unheard of for the sport as she defeated many of the heavy hitters in the male-dominated class.
Five years later, she would capture her second consecutive World Championship and perhaps realized until that point, her greatest day managing to pull off the wedding of her dreams all in the same week!
She’s A 2x World Champion NHRA Drag Racer, Record Holder, and the Winningest Pro-Sportsman Female Driver in the NHRA. Today, Megan takes what she learned along the way as one of the most sought after automotive media & marketing experts in the field.
