SIENNA WILDGUST PREPARING FOR HER PRO STOCK DEBUT IN 2024

 

 

Every year, NHRA classes add new drivers, and the Pro classes are no exception.
 
In 2024, a new face in the Pro Stock ranks will be that of Sienna Wildgust, 17, from Ontario, Canada, who is slated to drive a Chevy Camaro for the powerhouse KB Titan Racing team. Sienna’s father Scott drives in the Pro Mod class.
 
Sienna turns 18 years old in June of 2024 and has cut her teeth bracket racing.

“So, I'm starting to test next month,” Sienna said. “After January will technically be my 18th birth year, so I can compete in March before my birthday, so I can still compete when I'm 17. It just has to be in your 18th birth year. I'm going to test up until March of next year and then hopefully in March will be my debut at the Gators (the Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.).”

“Well, I've always thought that Pro Stock was a real race car class. There's a clutch in it and I thought that it was really cool. I was going to drive 632 in PDRA and race in the PDRA like my dad. Then Eric (Latino) had mentioned to my dad that Pro Stock might be a good idea instead of having to learn 632 and then having to go back into Pro Stock with Pro Stock being my ultimate goal. Then, Eric asked for me to join his team and it's been awesome.”

Wildgust knows she has a big learning curve, but she’s ready for the challenge ahead.

“So obviously not as fast or with a clutch, but I think Dallas (Glenn) is mainly going to teach me and be on my door with me,” Wildgust said. “So, I think that the learning curve is going to be difficult, but I'll have Dallas and everybody else, all my teammates, and I think that that'll really help me, and it'll be a bit easier having them teach me and them being there for me. We're hoping a couple times, probably, a month at least. I'm really excited, but I feel like that time in between is going to be really good to test and get as many hits in the car as I can so that in March, hopefully I can put on a show for everybody.”
