Job Title:

How many years involved in racing: 12
Family:
Husband-Jeff;
Children-Brian 14; Connor 3; Kayla 23; and Marissa

Favorite Track: Bill
Sawyer's Virginia Motor Speedway and Portsmouth
Raceway Park
Favorite thing about racing:
The people!! From the track
personnel, fans, kids in the Junior Racers Club,
drivers, owners, crews, sponsors, and media. The
last three years I haven't been able to travel as
much as I used to, but I still enjoy all those
relationships that have been built over the last
decade.
What other hobbies you have:
Walking!!! I walk
3-4 miles nightly just as a stress buster. I also
enjoying doing things with my family and
children. Most people would probably be surprised
to know that I hunt deer and really enjoy small game
hunting with Jeff and now our son Brian. I
began hunting with my father when I was 12 years
old. I got my first buck about 10 years ago with
Jeff. My son Brian shot his first buck with Jeff
during his first year hunting (2006). I also like
to go bass fishing with my mother and sisters at my
parents' river cottage on the Juniata River.
Connor has been out on the boat and at age three
he is able to cast a line. Of course, Connor
doesn't let the bait in the water long enough to get
a bite...that will come with time. The fish just
see "bait blur" blowing past.
What do you do in the off season:
Now, that we have Connor my
life is truly centered around our family. I
recently got a new job working with kids with
Autism, so I put a lot of time into research and
preparation to support kids in schools. In the
fall, I am really focused on getting the banquet
ready. I take care of the "household projects"
because of Jeff's hectic schedule of teaching
welding as well as business/scheduling with
the Series.
