Our thoughts and prayers go out to the DOME VALLEY RACEWAY team and Juarez family with the passing of DVRW founder Ernesto Juarez. Ernie will be greatly missed by the entire sand drag racing community. Pictured is Ernesto watching his son (and DVRW promoter) Esteban make a pass in the Chris Minor Racing Top Alcohol dragster at the 2025 Winter Shootout event. We couldn't tell who had a bigger smile that night Esteban or Ernesto.
