Driver Information

Looking pretty and getting dirty is my motto!

I'm a race fan turned driver in late 2019, taking every chance I get into the car as an experience and chance to get better. I'm blessed to have support from friends, family, fans and sponsors. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to race and then...it happened.

2021 has brought the opportunity to fulfill my ultimate dream of owning my own car. I'm enjoying every lap I can make.

2022 I used as a year of learning, blowing motors and wrecking some metal.

2023 we had to completely rebuild after totaling the car first night out. After we rebuilt we made several appearance on track making adjustments and appearances in several parades to help promote our local race track.

2024 we are ready and proud to represent our sponsors and have a huge year of appearances and exciting things in store.

I've been struck by the disease that there's only one cure...let's go racing y'all!

Career Highlights


Participating in Oct 2019 in Racing to a Cure Breast Care Awareness benefit race at I-37 Speedway under coordination by Kris Workman and raising a combined total of $20,000 for the cause. It consisted of 2 races 1 powder/1 power puff races and I finished 5th in my race (powder puff/inexperienced).

I started my first “real" race on 2/29/20 at South Texas Speedway and completed my heat race and B main with no contact or breakage. A win in my book, though I missed the transfer spot by 1.

First race of 2021 in a sport compact this season 3/20/2021 started 14th, finished 11th. A lot of improvement to be done but we push on.

On 8/28/2021, I won my first heat race at I-37 Speedway.

2022 we totaled the car and had a complete rebuild before blowing the engine.

6/2023 - Our first race of the season came late but we finished both the heat and the main. Top 10 on a come back is success in my book.
