At the age of nine, Elliott "Little E" Troiano will enter his fourth-full season of quarter midget competition in 2024 with a new challenge at hand - the ultra-competitive Senior Divisions.
This comes on the heels of a very successful 2023 season - his final in the Junior classes - that saw Little E become one of the top Junior drivers in the country. At his home track - the North Carolina Quarter Midget Association (NCQMA) - he earned six wins and over 30 podiums, while finishing in the top-three in points in each of his classes (Junior Honda, Junior Animal, Junior 160). This included a hard-fought runner-up finish in points in Junior 160, along with four wins, to the eventual Junior 160 National Champion.
Away from NCQMA, Little E competed in two NASCAR Youth Series National events, making the A-Main in Junior 160 on both occasions against the best drivers in the country. He also played the “alphabet soup" all the way to the B-Mains in both Junior Animal and Junior Honda at each National race.
In the Dixie Shootout Series, one of the most competitive regional quarter midget tours in the country, Elliott finished third in points in Junior 160 after leading much of the year. Even more impressively, he was voted the Dixie Shootout Series Most Improved Driver by his peers and series officials for the 2023 season.
In addition to his exploits on the track, Little E has built a strong social presence across Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. His light-hearted and funny race recap videos, along with his fun-loving and larger-than-life personality, have become very popular with his fans around the country and even around the world.
