Racing down the track in 6 seconds at over 200 mph is nothing for NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Angelle Sampey. With 45 victories and three championships, she is the winningest female driver in all of motorsports.

The 5’1” powerhouse takes racing in stride while she and her husband raise their two daughters in south Louisiana. In fact, in her girl’s playroom, the trophy from her 42nd win sits next to a sign that reads “Dreams only work if you do”.

Sampey shares her story of resilience as she races towards her fourth NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle championship this weekend in California. This “Racin’ Cajun” is a true inspiration on and off the track.
