About Chad

My name is Chad Axford. I am a fifteen year old living in Sacramento, CA. I have been raised around drag racing. My father, Wayne Axford, is a professional race car driver. Our family owned business has been professionally displaying race cars for the past seven years. I have helped my family set up all of our displays. Since about age eight I have been interested in putting together a team to run in the Junior dragster series.

The junior dragster series is a program for youth racers. All the races are 1/8th mile drags. The cars are all smaller versions of professional drag racing cars The junior drags run every other Saturday at our local race track, Sacramento Raceway Park. The finals for the junior drags are televised on the ESPN network.

I display my Jr. Dragster at many events such as school displays or assemblies, and the Sacramento Autorama which is a three day car show at the Cal Expo fair grounds in Sacramento, CA. This event attracts around 40,000 excited race car fans. I also produce a race report and a quarterly newsletter letting fans know about upcoming events and the team’s progress.

One thing that I strongly believe in is the kids against drugs program. I would like to send the message to kids to stay off drugs and to just be themselves.
