Old Bridge is known for its drag racing — after all, it's home to the storied Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.

Soon, the Middlesex County township will be known for a "Drag Race" queen.

Jan, a performer born in Staten Island and raised in Old Bridge, will be among the contestants on the upcoming 12th season of VH1's Emmy-winning cultural phenomenon "RuPaul's Drag Race."

The 26-year-old rising drag star discussed her Central Jersey roots in a video posted to VH1's YouTube page on Thursday afternoon.

"If you can't tell from the harsh vocals and the hair that's just teased and coiffed, I grew up there," she said.

"Jan, I like to say, is the girl next door plus so much more," the performer explained. "I can give you this femme look and look absolutely stunning, but when you come to see one of my shows you'll realize I'm absolutely insane."

Jan is one of a handful of contestants from New Jersey in the decade-plus history of "Drag Race;" Season Three's Carmen Carrera is an Elmwood Park native, while Ariel Versace of Season 11 is based in Cherry Hill.

However, none of the New Jersey competitors have been able to make their way to the crown. Jan — whose mentor (affectionately known as "drag mother") is Season 9 contestant Alexis Michelle — believes she can change that.

"I'm America's next drag superstar because I am talented. I'm nice. I'm humble," she said in the VH1 YouTube clip. "I want to change people's lives through music, through art, through fashion. I want to be able to do all those things, and I know I'm capable of that, and that's why I'm America's next drag superstar. I'm that girl."

“With each new generation of queens, the 'RuPaul’s Drag Race' revolution continues to drive culture,” said executive producer and host RuPaul said in a news release. “And as more and more new viewers discover the show, the phenomenon continues to open hearts and minds with love, laughter and a whole lotta sass.”

The "Drag Race" juggernaut is showing no signs of slowing down. In addition to the 12th season of the prime show, VH1 has reportedly given the green light to a fifth season of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" and the inaugural season of "RuPaul's Celebrity Drag Race."

The official Las Vegas residency “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!” opens Jan. 30 at the Flamingo Hotel, produced by World of Wonder and Voss Events and directed by RuPaul and Jamal Sims. And, there's a sixth year of DragCon in Los Angeles May 1 to 3.
