From Vegas to Reno to an unbeaten Legacy Racing championship
Her desert racing actually started in a Rhino. She ran Whiplash's desert race at Snowflake, Arizona, and raced the all-women MORE Powder Puff Race for a Cure in Barstow in 2008 and 2009 with her daughter Marlee as co-pilot. In 2009 she debuted the new R1-powered SR1 there: after a blown shock cost her 20 minutes, she passed the field to take the checkered flag first among the UTVs and finished 2nd on adjusted time.
Her first long-distance desert race was Best in the Desert's 2016 Vegas to Reno, where she finished 7th in the Production UTV class. She came back to the desert with the Legacy Racing Association in 2024 and won every race she entered in Pro Stock 2 (Stock UTV): the Parker Dam 500, Baja Nevada, Dirt Rebelution and the Gold Rush (run jointly with VORRA), clinching the championship 645 points to 582. In 2025 she moved up to UTV Pro Open, racing Legacy's full schedule across Arizona, Nevada and Utah with Jason sharing the driving and the Weller Racing crew in the pits.
She has also tackled King of the Hammers twice as Jason's co-driver and winch partner in the #48 Weller Racing UTV: 4th in UTV Stock Turbo in 2022 and 8th in 4900 UTV Pro Stock Turbo in 2023. The official results list only the driver, so those finishes count on Jason's record, not in her totals below.
