And don't miss the Junk Yard Diva truck featuring one of the fastest female drivers in the country, Tiffani Whitehead, her truck is known best for bogging down in 200 feet of mud!

Affiliated with the Ark-La-Tex Pro Mud Racing circuit, Junk Yard Dog is an Outlaw and Outlaw Pro Stock mud truck and.Junk Yard Diva is an OPS and Limited Renegade truck.

This husband and wife mud racing team has been slinging mud and flying across 200 feet of mud for two years now. Junk Yard Dog is one of the fastest Outlaw and Outlaw Pro Stock mud trucks in the country. Junk Yard Diva has already hurt feelings in the Outlaw Pro Stock class and is a top truck in the Limited Renegade class. Alongside, The Dog and The Diva is Son of a Dog, a junior sand dragster driven by 10-year-old Preston.

Their mission is simple, go as fast as possible in 200 feet in front of fans, friends and family.
