How and where did you become involved in racing?
Well I have been involed sence 1997 when my husband said to me he wanted to start racing.

Describe your most humorous moment in racing:
Well my most humorous is also a little embarrassing. I was racing at Utica-Rome Speedway and spun out and was hit causing my car to break I was so mad at myself that I was yelling a few choice words while I was on the front stretch. The following week one of the Chaplains came down to see me and said "Honey I just wanted to tell you last week we heard what you said in your car when we where in the tower" and then thanked me for a good laugh. The next week my team brought a roll of duck tape for me.

Why do you race at Brewerton Speedway?
Because its close to home and my husband races there. Also  I'm having a lot of fun.

What are your most memorable moments in racing? Championships / Big Wins?
My most memorable moments is finishing in the top 5 a few times my first season.

What do you do when you are not racing and/or in the off-season?
Make plans for the next racing season and meet with people interested in driving for us.
