A Legacy Built on Speed.
Scrappers Racing is a family-driven team founded by Mike Salinas, combining generations of hard work, passion, and success in NHRA Drag Racing.
From humble beginnings to competing in the fastest motorsport series on the planet, the Salinas family continues to push boundaries, break records, and inspire fans worldwide.
The BEGINNING
Mike Salinas’ passion for drag racing began with his father’s hot rod adventures at the Fremont Drag Strip and Little Bonneville in the 60s and 70s. From 2001 to 2009, Mike competed in the Nostalgia Eliminator 1 and 7.0 Pro classes at his local tracks in Bakersfield and Sacramento.
In 2006, he introduced his four daughters to Junior Drag Racing, creating a family tradition of racing together on weekends. This commitment to family and the sport laid the foundation for what would become Scrappers Racing.
THE BIG LEAGUES
In 2009, Mike Salinas earned his Top Fuel license at the Texas Motorplex, driven by a lifelong passion and family connection to the sport. Two years later, in 2011, he made his professional debut in NHRA Top Fuel. With raw talent and unwavering determination, Mike began his electrifying journey in one of drag racing's most competitive arenas. This marked the start of Scrappers Racing’s rise to prominence.
a family affair
In 2019, Jasmine and Jianna Salinas returned to drag racing, with Jasmine competing in Top Alcohol Dragster and Jianna making her professional debut in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Together, Scrappers Racing would transform into a multi-car team competing and winning across multiple drag racing categories.
Racing Into Tomorrow
Today, Scrappers Racing is a powerhouse multi-car operation. In 2023, Mike made motorsports history as the first to reach 300 mph at the 1/8th mile, and in 2024, Jianna became the fastest woman in Pro Stock Motorcycle with a 204.54 mph run. Looking ahead to 2025, Jasmine and Mike will again make NHRA Top Fuel history as the first father-daughter team to compete together at the same event, continuing the Salinas family’s relentless pursuit of excellence and love for speed.
