At age thirteen, East Longmeadow resident Lauren Gagner is an accomplished racer. Strongly influenced by Dad (Glenn Gagner a former racer) and Uncle Wade Gagner (who builds Karts for kids to race) Lauren crosses the Stafford Motor Speedway Outlaw Division start/finish line checkered flag mid-pack or better, every race.. She raced to seven wins in the Tiger Cub Division.

There is nothing Lauren would rather do than race. At age thirteen she is committed enough to the sport to prepare for what is coming up, whatever that is. Just prior to every race, Lauren sits in her car, closes her eyes and relaxes. That is way of preparing for the race.
Says Lauren “My hero is my Dad. He gives me awesome advice. I hope to race professionally when I get older and with Dad’s support I know I can do it.”
