Quotes
edit- I was a track rat and was always around cars with my family. I really got excited about the Trans Am series when my dad was running in it in the late 1990s, early 2000s, back when in the days of Tommy Kendall. He raced against him and Paul Gentilozzi and people like that.
- It's great when you get to celebrate and everything is going your way but obviously when things aren't going your way or tensions are high or tempers are flaring, you have to remember at the end of the day that you're family. But I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else. I could, but it makes it all the better that that's who I get to do it with and get to share my experience with.
- I think there's always been more females running than people realize, I think that sometimes you just don't hear about it as much. In today's society people are more accepting of certain things, and they might go more out of their way to accept that a female is good and has proved herself… There's also more equal opportunity now for some of us then there was in the past.
- Our primary goal is to finish the race and get the best finish that we possibly can so hopefully that's a win
