braxton  meadows
​team position: tbd

My name is Braxton Meadows, and I am going to the seventh grade. I joined CougarStrongRacing because I  was on the team last year as a driver, and had a lot of fun doing it, so I signed up again. This is going to be my second year on the team. I am interested in driving because I was a driver last year, and I was good at it, and I loved my position.
FUN FACT: I was a driver on the 555 team that won National Runner-up at Talladega Superspeedway for the first time.

Braylon  meadows
​team position: tbd

My name is Braylon Meadows and I'm 13 years old, I have a twin brother. The reason I joined the team again this year is because I did it last season and had fun. We ended our season with finishing 2nd or better at every race. I loved it. I made friends and had fun.

FUN FACT:  I am an identical twin.

luke  tanner
​team position: tbd

My name is Luke tanner. I was on the 555 Greenpower team last year. I had a lot of fun last year so I wanted to do it again. I would like to be the pit crew chef and I hope to win a national championship this year. I also want to strive to get first at every race this year. Last year we mostly came in 2nd or 3rd with only 1st at one race. It would feel really good to take home a first place trophy at every race. This year I also hope we work better as a team. 

​FUN FACT: I'm interested in team roping and I have taught myself how to rope and do tie down.

Owyn Wojnar
​team position: tbd

Hi, my name is Owyn Wojnar, and I’m in the 7th grade. I wanted to join the CSR team because it was fun last year, and I learned a lot about the F24 Greenpower cars. I also liked Talladega and meeting new and old friends. Another reason why I wanted to join is that the 7th and 8th grade cars are modified and go faster. I am not brand new to the team, but it is my 1st year for the modified cars. I am interested in the driver and assistant data manager position.

FUN FACT: I play many instruments, including guitar and trumpet.

justin moore
team position: tba

Hi, my name is Justin Moore. I am 12 years old and I would like to be part of the camera crew for the LCMS Cougar Strong Racing Team. This is my first year with the team, and I’m really glad to be a part of it. Some of my interests include mudding, riding a four-wheeler, raising livestock, and playing on my Xbox. I also enjoy spending time with my goats. In addition to those hobbies, I love exploring the outdoors, especially during the weekends when I can go fishing with my family or friends. I've recently started getting into photography, which is why I would like to  be a part of the camera crew. I find it exciting to capture the action during the races and share the experience with everyone who comes to cheer us on. I'm always looking forward to learning more about filmmaking and improving my skills. My goal is to create awesome highlight videos for our team and showcase all the hard work we put in. Overall, being part of this team has been an amazing experience so far, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!

Fun Fact: I have a lot of livestock.

 Team coach / teacher - STEPHANIE SIMMONS

Mr. Simmons launched Wolfpack Racing at Clearview Elementary in the fall of 2022. She led her program to a 19th place national finish in her first season. In season 2 she added a second car to the Wolfpack Racing and doubled the number of students in the program at CVES. They placed top 13 in the last two season.

She was selected to replace Mr. Graham as the head coach of Cougar Strong Racing and will lead LCMS Greenpower into their 9th season of competition. She has big goals and is determined to build on the strong foundation at Long Cane and continue the tradition of excellence and success. The 2025-2026 season will be fun to watch!!!

YEARS OF GREENPOWER EXPERIENCE = 4

 assistant coach - chris morris

Chris Morris got involved with Greenpower in the fall of 2017 when his daughter Chloe joined the team as a 6th grade student. He began volunteering in various capacities and quickly became an integral part of the team. His contributions have made a tremendous impact on the success of our program across the three years in which his daughter Chloe was a member. After she moved up to the high school Chris decided to continue serving as an assistant coach with Cougar Strong Racing because he believed in the value of the experience for our students. He is solely responsible for all the modifications and upgrades found on the inside of our race trailer, and he has been a great mentor to our team members. The 2025-2026 season will be the ninth season for our program and he has been there every step of the way, having never missed a race event in 8 years. We are thankful for the time he has invested in our program and hope he stays with us for many years to come.
