How cool is it for Kristen Wootton to be the fastest driver in her family?

For several years, driving a 260 mile per hour race car was a dream for Magnolia, Texas resident Kristen Wootton. Earlier this year at the DragRaceHose.com Spring Warm-Up event held at Houston Raceway Park, her dream became a reality as Wootton completed her licensing requirements for the NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster division.

Over the period of two days, Wootton, the mother of two children ages 11 and 2 and wife of ADRL Pro Extreme Driver Don Wootton, made seven runs down the HRP quarter-mile driving the family’s recently purchased A/Fuel Dragster tuned by veteran chassis builder and crew chief, Joe Monden. Those seven runs were Wootton’s first down a drag strip in any dragster. And she handled the car like a seasoned veteran of the sport of drag racing.

“Kristen did amazing with all the procedures and handled the car exceptionally well,” noted Monden. “From the time she warmed up the car, did her burnout, launched the car and pulled off in the shut down area, she handled it better than most drivers I’ve ever dealt with. I’m very impressed and she should be very proud of herself.”

When Kristen’s debuted at Houston Raceway Park in 2010, on her first pass, she ran a 5.51 elapsed time at 253 mph quickly opening some eyes. The people at Clean Boost Performance Motor Oils noticed this and of every possible drag racing team in the world, they chose the Wootton Family and their talented crew chief and race car chassis builder Joe Monden to launch their revolutionary product as Major Associate Marketing Partners for the 2010 season.

Joe Monden Race Cars is a company built by racers, for racers. Centrally located in Gainesville, Texas, in the heart of NHRA, IHRA and now ADRL drag racing country, Monden’s race cars are custom built and engineered to the requested specifications of his customers. For nearly 15 years, Monden Race Cars have been the choice for several championship drag racing teams.

And to answer the question, how cool is it for Kristen to be the fastest driver in her family? “Of course I am. Girls RULE,” noted Kristen with a smile.
