Trailblazers on the Track: Celebrating Women in Short Track Racing!

53 minutes

It’s International Women’s Month, and we couldn’t think of a better way to honor it than by bringing together three phenomenal female drivers who are tearing up the track and rewriting the rules. From late models to sprint cars, these women have proven that racing isn’t just a man’s game - it’s anyone’s game if you’ve got the grit, the guts, and the drive to win!

We’ll talk with Erin (Crocker) Evernham, Alison Sload and Taylor Ferns about their journeys, the challenges they’ve faced, and how the sport is evolving for the next generation of female racers. So buckle up, because this conversation is going to be fast, fierce, and full of insight from the best in the business!
