Driven to succeed: Local teen beats the odds in drag racing

Rhett Butler/The Daily Reflector
Megan Roberson with her half-scale dragster. Cars like the one Megan drives range from $15,000 to $20,000. Megan, who has permission from Monster Energy drinks to use their logo on her car, is hoping to get corporate sponsorship from the company. Because she has Type 1 diabetes, Megan prefers Monster Energy's low-carb beverage.

Greenville teen Megan Roberson has been clocked driving at speeds of more than 80 mph. On the highway, that would make her an outlaw. But on the track, it makes her one of the top racers in the Outlaw 330, a race that features the quickest drivers in junior drag racing. Megan recently placed among the top three drivers in the MyChron Top Guns Junior Dragster Series, which holds races from April through November in North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Missouri.
