How old are you? 27, September 17
How did you get involved in racing? I was born into it. My Dad started drag racing in the 1960's and there is not a time in my life when we weren't involved in some shape or form. I am very greatfull that they passed the love of racing onto me.
Who are your hero's? My family, Shirley Muldowney, Tony Stewart
Do you have a favorite TV show? Not really probably Seinfield if I had to choose one
What's your favorite color? It's a toss up between red and orange
Have a favorite food? Mom's cornbread and beans
Any supersticions? Oh yes, growing up drag racing we all had our own routines and if an ?outsider? would come in and mess with that we would all flip! My husband got a good taste of it the first race he came to?luckily we didn't scare him away!
What's your favorite movie? I have several that I like; Airplane, Dumb and Dumber, Heart Like a Wheel, Pure Country, The Brady Bunch Movie
Favorite type of music? It depends on what mood I am in. I love Rap, Country, Hip Hop and Rock n Roll. Definitely rap before a race though.
Do you have any pets? Two minature pinchers; Tesa and Tiki
What's your favorite thing about racing? Everything. I love the smell, the competition, the power and speed, the friends you meet. There's nothing I don't love about racing, no matter what type it is.
Most memorable racing moment? I have two. Every time I get the opportunity to race is a memorable moment because not everyone gets the chance to live their dream. Also, it was a great moment for both my family and I when my brother won the IHRA World Championship in 2002.
What are your 2005 goals? To finish each race most importantly and race smart. If I achieve those two goals, success will follow.
Do you have any long-term racing goals? Race full-time and compete in various types of cars. I'd love to try my hand at a national midget and sprint. I've also always dreamed of taking at least one pass in a Top Fuel dragster.
Tell us something we may not know about you: I was voted Class Clown of my graduating class at Shenandoah High School and a four-year varsity starter on the schools top-ranked softball team.
