Millican and Pedregon Bring Championship Flavor to Drag Race High
Six World Championships buoy match-up between two San Diego area High Schools

There will be a lot of star power on SPEED™ in the coming months, as two NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series stars will make numerous appearances during the second season of Drag Race High. The show premieres tonight at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Six-time IHRA Top Fuel champion and current NHRA standout Clay Millican, who will host the show, joins two time and newly crowned NHRA Nitro Funny Car titlist Cruz Pedregon in helping coach, support and judging the competing high schools in the upcoming second season of Drag Race High.

The two San Diego-area schools, El Camino High School and Romona High School, received last minute pointers and how to best deal with the spotlight as these two schools were joined together in competition – a spot traditionally reserved to only those competing within the confines of athletic fields or walls of gymnasiums.

“The ‘Final Exam’ for Drag Race High was one of the most exciting things I have ever been a part of,” Millican said. “The students put together two great cars - and I do not want to give away anything here - but the finale was off the chart for drama and excitement. This season of Drag Race High is going to be a must-watch program!”

"SPEED has really got something here,” Pedregon said. “The opportunity these kids received is much more than just a TV show - its life changing."
