From Go-Karts to Glory: 10-Year-Old Sadie Parsons Chases NASCAR Dreams
Send us a text
Meet the extraordinary Sadie Parsons, a 10-year-old racing phenom who's already collecting championships like most kids collect toys. From the moment her father introduced her to go-kart racing at age five, Sadie has been on an unstoppable journey through the motorsports world.
Born into racing royalty—both her parents met on the go-kart circuit—Sadie has quickly advanced through multiple racing classes with remarkable skill. She confidently discusses the nuances between driving go-karts, Bandoleros, Legend cars, and Crown Vics with the expertise of someone three times her age. What's more impressive? She doesn't just drive these machines; she can completely disassemble and rebuild them, understanding every mechanical aspect of her vehicles.
The results speak volumes: five championships in a single season, across multiple racing classes. Her trophy collection has outgrown her bedroom, now spanning hallways and the family race shop. Between homeschooling (which she completes in about an hour daily), gymnastics training, and maintaining her race cars, Sadie demonstrates a work ethic and maturity that defies her years.
Throughout our conversation, Sadie's genuine passion for motorsports shines through, matched only by her humility and faith. "I know without Him I wouldn't have this ability to race," she shares, crediting God for her talents. Her ultimate goal? NASCAR—and given her trajectory, few would bet against her getting there.
Subscribe to our podcast for more inspiring stories of women breaking barriers in motorsports, and follow Sadie's journey on social media at SO3 Motorsports. This young driver represents the bright future of women in racing, and we can't wait to see where her journey leads.
