EARLY YEARS

Megan Meyer was born on June 10, 1993, in Spring Hill, Kansas, and grew up in a racing family that kept her close to the drag strip from an early age. She began racing in 2004 at age 10 in a Junior Dragster, and the sport quickly became part of her identity rather than just a weekend activity. By the time she was a teenager, she had already won local Junior Dragster championships and was learning both the driving and technical sides of racing through time spent with her father, Randy Meyer, and the family’s operation.

OTHER INTERESTS

Megan’s career has been shaped by interests that go beyond driving. She earned a bachelor’s degree in graphic communications with an emphasis in graphics management, a background that later proved useful in motorsports branding and sponsorship work. Alongside racing, she gained hands-on experience in marketing, photography, and mechanical work through the family team, giving her a broader understanding of how race programs operate. Those skills later became a major part of her public-facing work helping racers and teams present themselves more professionally.

EARLY SUCCESS

Her early competitive progress was steady and unusually complete. After moving out of Junior Dragster, she entered Super Comp in 2011 and raced full-time with her father’s team, collecting runner-up finishes while continuing to build her experience. She later began testing the family Top Alcohol Dragster in 2013 and earned her NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster license in early 2015 after two years of preparation. Her first seasons in the class showed immediate promise, with strong results before a breakout 2016 campaign brought her first national event victory, multiple runner-up finishes, and several awards recognizing the quality of her car, crew, and overall program.

INSPIRATIONS

Megan’s strongest inspiration came from her family environment, especially watching her father build and compete within drag racing. Growing up around the program gave her an inside view of what it took to race at a high level, and that exposure appears to have shaped both her ambitions and her work ethic. Rather than approaching racing as a detached pursuit, she grew into it from the inside, which helped form a practical, hands-on perspective that stayed with her throughout her career.

REPUTATION

Megan earned a reputation as a disciplined and highly capable drag racer who combined talent with preparation. Her results in Top Alcohol Dragster made her one of the class’s most successful competitors, and her 2019 championship carried added significance as a historic first for women in the category. Outside the car, she became known for translating her racing experience into motorsports marketing work, where she helped other drivers understand branding, sponsorship presentation, and how to build a stronger public image. That mix of competitive success and practical business knowledge has made her stand out in the sport.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Megan’s post-NHRA path has centered on motorsports marketing, racer education, and selective competition. Her public work suggests an ongoing effort to help drivers and teams improve how they present themselves, while also staying connected to racing through exhibition and off-road opportunities. The direction of her career points to a long-term role in motorsports that is not limited to driving alone, but extends into mentoring, branding, and helping others build sustainable programs.
