Miranda Nicole Throckmorton (born January 14, 1992) is an American sprint car driver.
[1][2][3] Miranda was born into a racing family in Avon, Indiana, a western suburb of Indianapolis.
[3][6][7] Throckmorton found herself the subject of public scrutiny when she posted a series of tweets while stuck in traffic due to the funeral of IMPD Police Office Rod Bradway.
She also compared the role of the police officer, who had been killed in the line of duty while saving a woman and child, to the level of danger faced by race car drivers.
Throckmorton issued an apology, but continued to face public admonishing for her comments.
