Help Jak Race at the NHRA Eastern Conference Finals
Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,
We are excited to share that Jak has earned a spot at the 2026 NHRA Eastern Conference Finals in Bristol, Tennessee, one of the most prestigious events in Jr. Dragster racing.
After a successful spring season at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio, Jak accumulated enough points to qualify for this highly competitive championship event. This achievement reflects months of dedication, hard work, and commitment both on and off the track. From July 9–19, Jak will compete against some of the best Jr. Dragster racers in the country while representing our community on a national stage.
To help make this opportunity possible, we are launching our "Fill the Tree" Fundraiser. Inspired by the NHRA Christmas Tree used at the starting line, supporters can sponsor a light on the tree by making a donation. As the lights count down toward a race launch, the value of each sponsored light increases incrementally. Our goal is to completely "fill the tree" 7 times, through the generosity of family, friends, businesses, and racing supporters.
Funds raised will help offset the expenses associated with attending the NHRA Eastern Conference Finals, including:
• Transportation and travel costs
• Race entry fees
• Racing parts and equipment
• Lodging
• Meals
• Other event-related expenses
Every contribution, regardless of size, makes a difference and goes directly toward helping Jak compete at this incredible event. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others is another valuable way to support his journey.
Sponsor Recognition & Prize Drawings
As a thank-you for your support, every donor will receive:
• Recognition on our social media platforms
• A feature highlighting your business or your connection to Jak during the race day you sponsor
• Entry into a race-day drawing for a $100 gift card
Each race-day winner will then be entered into a grand prize drawing for a $150 gift card, which will be announced during our week-long race recap video following the event.
Follow the Action
Most races will be streamed live on NHRA.tv or YouTube, allowing supporters to follow Jak's progress throughout race week.
Thank you for supporting Jak as he pursues his dream of competing against the nation's top Jr. Dragster racers and chasing a coveted NHRA 75th Anniversary Diamond Wally. Your generosity will help create an unforgettable experience and contribute to his growth as both a racer and a young athlete.
We sincerely appreciate your encouragement, support, and belief in Jak's journey.
Thank you for helping us Fill the Tree!
Jak, Aaron, Christina Kiko
