32 year old UTV Racer from Lawrenceburg, TN and Mom of 5. I have been racing for 3 years now and run a Can-Am X3 turbo. Like many of the Sponsored Athletes, one of the biggest challenges we face is the simple fact that we are Women in a male dominated industry. My biggest accomplishment is being the only female to ever iron man the full 12hrs at the Offroad Outlaws Can-Am 12hr race and placed 3rd is 2021.
I aspire to be the next Miss Mint 400 and want to bring as much awareness as I can to her non-profit team On Mission Motorsports whose mission is to connect Veterans and Active Duty Military and their families with the Off Roading Community.
In my off time I enjoy Pageants and is a Hair and Makeup Artist. I am a Type 1 Diabetic warrior & former National Pageant winner and published author.
My advice to other Girls and Women getting involved in racing? To show the men whose boss. Females are more calm and collective in extreme situations. Use that tactic to your advantage. In the next 5 years I hope to have more top placements and more experience in some of the toughest races. To me, the best part about racing is the feeling of accomplishment when crossing the finish line win or lose.
