She openly discusses the challenges women face in motorsports, noting the extra effort required to prove themselves and secure sponsorships, while also acknowledging the growing female fan base in NHRA. Through her passion for racing and strategic business acumen, Julie not only excels on the track but also serves as a role model and advocate for women in the sport, illustrating the perseverance needed to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field.
