look back five years ago to now,
it's huge how much it's grown.
I'm hoping it continues going. If
we get more support, money-
wise, then you get more women
training. I think that's the hardest
part. When you're over 18 and you
got to work a job and race, that's
not easy. Just the last two years
that I haven't had to work a normal
job has helped tremendously.
The things that you can do when
you're just focusing on racing is
insane. So, if we can get more
women to where they can actually
make a living racing, I think our
sport can be phenomenal.
Let's talk about that jump
that you made from '20 to '21.
Well, when Covid hit, and we
weren't racing, I had to work
a job. I'm on the win-to-eat
program, so you have to win;
you have to race just to make
money. So, when we didn't race,
a couple months in it kind of
sucked. And then we went into
our summer break, and I had to
get a summer job. I went and did
some East Coast stuff, but I went
into it super unprepared. And that
really taught me a lesson in just
being prepared and respecting
other sports. Right after that I

I'm always hoping
for someone to
catch up and
challenge me. The
younger girls, I'm
looking forward
to them catching
up. Cause I know
eventually they
will. Hopefully."
