Those rojel kids
Meet them
elektra
Elektra Rojel, first generation AZ racer. She may be the youngest and only girl in the family, but she has proven that she is a true bracket racer at heart. She is currently halfway through her second season in Big wheels and in just 5 months, she will start licensing for her JDRL license.
ryker
Ryker Rojel, a local AZ first generation racer! From starting out in bigwheels at 3 years old and now going on his sixth year in Juniors and racing at both Tucson Dragway and Firebird raceway, he is definitely no stranger to the game. He started off his career, strong winning the Southwest Showdown invitational back to back. He has added many big checks and trophies to his display at home, but that's just part of it.
From displaying his car for young fans, to working on motors, changing his own gears between rounds, to lending his car out to his friends who were still in competition, to testing out others competitors cars to see how their new motors ran for them, helping out staff members, being interviewed, doing autograph sessions with the pros and most importantly working on perfect grades in school to earn that seat time. His passion and love for the sport are unmatched.
He has many plans for his future...finish out his Junior career while racing in other classes, build his own car
rayden
Rayden Rojel, a local AZ first generation racer! Spent his 2025 Rookie season, accumulating team points at both Tucson Dragway and Firebird Raceway. He was even able to participate in both AZ divisionals and attended the D7 Junior Finals in Las Vegas, where he made a four-wide final appearance!
But it's not his wins and consistent lights that stand out...it's his passion.
From displaying at the Arizona Nationals to taking his car to school to share with all the students and staff, in just one year, he has engaged with hundreds of fans of all ages.
He can't wait to get more seat time, build more, pick up speed, and meet more fans and hopefully some future racers!
