For this installment of "Meet The Girls", we are going to introduce you to Miranda Throckmorton!

Miranda Throckmorton is a 21 year old from Avon, IN. She currently races her family owned 410 winged sprint car as much as possible. She primarily competes at Attica and Fremont. She’s a full time student in downtown Indy at IUPUI studying Fitness Management & Personal Training. 2005 saw Miranda racing a 600cc micro midget, picking up a feature win and multiple top-5 finishes. She also competed in a USAC Kenyon midget, with multiple top-3 finishes, as well as finishing 5^th in the overall points. She was also awarded with the Hoosier Auto Racing Fans (HARF) First Year Driver Award. 2007 was a monumental year for Miranda, winning her first ever 410 non-wing sprint car feature, and becoming the first female ever to do so. She also finished 5^th in the Paragon Speedway points.  Miranda was also a recipient of the Lyn St. James Project Podium Grant and a graduate of the Lyn St. James Driver Development Program.

She will be finishing out the remainder of the USAC Silver Crown dirt races in the Team 6R Racing, Toyota-powered #33.
