She was named Junior of the Year in the prestigious Bilsport Award 2023 and therefore she also got the opportunity shine together with Indycar winner Marcus Ericsson, who became Senior of the Year in the same category. There were many tears of joy among the drag racing family who attended the 2023 Bilsportgala in J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/fiaedc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMG_4068_Lina-Goran_LP540.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/fiaedc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMG_4068_Lina-Goran_LP540.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/fiaedc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMG_4068_Lina-Goran_LP540.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/fiaedc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMG_4068_Lina-Goran_LP540-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/fiaedc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMG_4068_Lina-Goran_LP540-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/fiaedc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMG_4068_Lina-Goran_LP540-36x34.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/fiaedc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMG_4068_Lina-Goran_LP540-48x46.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For not to mention SHRA Sundsvall chairman G\u00f6ran Svensson who is extremely proud of his home clubs drag racing drivers.
