I love racing, speaking, traveling, meeting people and my home state of Kansas!!! THANK YOU to the Hays, Kansas WOMEN WHO LEAD for having me as #keynote #speaker for your POWER OF THE PURSE fundraising event. Your energy was fire and it was a lovely evening followed by brunch with my amazing friend @traceylt1963
One of my passions is #motivational #speaking. It was such an honor to be the #keynote speaker for @beaconbuildingproducts @beaconbuilds and to moderate a panel of amazing #womeninroofing. Thanks for connecting us and making such a cool swag bag item- Beacon branded @nowpolish! #teambeacon #bls2024
Whew! What a journey the week has been! I’ll start with the news that all of our practice issues are fixed and the truck is in tech line! I did not get a full-throttle lap because we had to fix a faulty steering component (little sketchy at 170mph), the sway bar arm was shifting 1/2” (more sketch), the RR tire was rubbing, the throttle was sticking (which you would thjnk not too big a problem here but it creates an issue with all the other issues). For our technical friends the solutions were: 1/2” aluminum spacer on the throttle body below air box, added a spacer to sway bar bushing, body guy hammered out RR. That and about a dozen little improvements for aero! Proud of the team for getting it all done this morning!!! #nascar
What an amazing last minute trip to OBX! My 1st visit to the Outer Banks- from the light house, to the sea shell collection to the best part - meeting the man behind sooo many of Clayton’s stories “Doc” Brewer and his sweet and fun family π#obx #outerbanks #nctravel
Here’s a tiny glimpse of what Thanksgiving looks like for me in KC. So thankful for decades of memories and continued traditions with family and friends. I wish I had gotten photos with everyone! What a whirlwind π
The good and the bad of professional racing is in the people you meet. Ellen is definitely one of the good. Check out her resume. It’s an honor to have raced with her @euronascar and see her this week @wwdsummit @womeninmotorsportsna
Just got word the truck fired up great and it’s in final set up! Can’t wait to get off work and help get her loaded up! Thank you Concierge Motor Sports and everyone who came together to help me get this together!
PS - helmet bag will ride in the race truck! π
I jinxed us! My helmet bag got left in NC π€¦π»βοΈ and Josh Reaume came to the rescue and loaned me his equip. But we didn’t realize we would need an adapter for the radio to work so we lost valuable practice time finding one. The truck should be much better for the race. 1. We were hard on the splitter. 2. It was really loose and 3. Not being in the truck for a year takes a few extra laps to get acclimated again! We roll off P30 and are ready to go! (I mean it this time :) thank you Josh!!!
The weirdest thing is happening to us @kansasspeedway this morning. We are fully ready to go!!! I don’t think Crew Chief Steve quite knows what to do with himself! Very grateful for all of the prep and hard work that happened back at the shop ππΌ
I’ve become addicted to these amazing breakfast tacos! When I saw these @missionfoodsus ZERO NET CARBS sun dried tomato mini (so cute!) tortillas I couldn’t resist. One egg makes two tacos. Instructions: mix one egg with a dash of pepper and celery salt; add a splash of milk; whisk. Cook over med heat with a small pat of butter in a non-stick pan. Do not overcook. Microwave two tortillas with shredded cheese 30 seconds. Add eggs. Top with this amazing @herdeztraditions Verde Street Taco sauce and a smooth red sauce (like Ortega (which is delish but if you’re in KC definitely go with hometown fave @spanish_gardens!!!) and a dollop of sour cream. Takes way less than 10 mins start to finish including clean up!
@fastener_pros customer entertainment is top notch! I enjoyed hanging out with a great customer in our company suite where we saw an amazing concert by @lukecombs and a few of his friends… π€πΈπ»π΅
As we share in this wonderful weekend to celebrate our country and the men and women who have fought so hard to preserve our freedoms, let us not forget how amazingly blessed we are πΊπΈ ππΌππ₯°πΊπΈ
50th Birthday weekend in Sonoma/Napa kicked off a success! #winecountry #napavalley #nascar - now there’s hashtags you don’t see together every day. π₯³
@christianroseracing and I had the difficult task of judging the cars in the car show… so many worthy choices!!! Ultimately we went with this 1976 “Smoky & The Bandit” Trans Am! Those closest to me know that my first car was a Trans Am so this was a pretty easy leader for me. But Christian also loved this car (as well as so many others) but we liked the nostalgia of the movie and history. Congrats to this winner! Great trophy @ranson_cvb !!!
A few of my favorite fans from todays Ranson WV Festival & Car Show! 1. A bright young lady who brought me her JJCR truck to sign. 2. A close friend of a friend who battled cancer & is out & about thriving. 3. Wonderful ladies who drove over an hour to see us. What a day! π₯°
Source: @christianroseracing We are getting close! It's TOMORROW!

What a great turnout of @nascar_trucks drivers at @mwtaproom for a delicious luncheon! Thanks for the event and the hospitality @mwr55! @nascaronfox #nascar
The heroes of the weekend! Steve and Nick Kuykendall headed up the NASCAR cars of our @conciergemotorsports team and they had their hands full! Father & son working side by side was so cool to see. I love this family as my own. π #themitty
It’s one thing to be racing a new track, having fun and learning. It’s a whole other level of happiness to be surrounded by great friends in motorsports! #themitty
Racing shenanigans! This is what racing should be - competitive and fun!!!! @frontrowjoe87 @conciergemotorsports @hsrrace @roadatlanta #themitty (Please don’t be mad at me Joe!)
Welp… it rained all day on testing day for @hsrrace #themitty test day at @roadatlanta but I got to work on my @conciergemotorsports vintage #8 Chevrolet! (Adjusting the steering wheel in case you’re curious what in the world would require such acrobatics!)

Happy International Women’s Day! Cheers to all the strong and courageous femmes. Let’s look around and lift up those who have yet to find their strength. Some great quotes to celebrate (Source: goodhousekeeping.com)
Having fun w the @swamprabbits mascot, Thumper! Growing up I had a rabbit named Thumper… I wish a much better fate for this Thumper π¬ Anyhoo… congrats on the W last night! Thanks to all the great fans who turned out for #NASCAR night!
Moms last birthday… I’m so glad it was wonderful and full of family and love. This was her final bday. 70… 5 years ago. Happy 75 years of still being influential Mom. I love you π
May your new year be full of peace, love, joy and hope... and your champagne glasses be full of @buschbeer #buschlight π(JJC image by @aaronfarrier)
There’s a whole story why I had to post something ASAP - I was at a # of posts that I hate (triple 6). So I found this pic of my great friends Dana & Greg to break the evil! π

What a wonderful evening at @wscottsdale making new friends and reconnecting with old friends at the #activ8againsth8 event. Thank you for supporting the @noh8campaign @nascar @phoenixraceway @wscottsdale ππ
Amazing room… view… vibe @wscottsdale π Don’t forget tonight #activ8againsth8 right here 6pm! @noh8campaign sponsored by @nascar @phoenixraceway Don’t forget to grab your ticket through the link: https://t.co/YbgwznZ9CI
@buschbeer has the best spirit it’s hard not to “fall” in love with this awesome brand. You can #shopbeergear for this cool stuff and more! Beer soap? Yup! Scroll through for the soap and a visit from a furry friend at the end π #accelerateher #buschlight
Headed to @martinsvilleswy tonight for the @nascar.whelen.modified.tour race to cheer on fellow @buschbeer sponsored driver @melissafifield01 ! #accelerateher #nascar
Needed to silicone the gap in the back window to pass technical inspection and the silicone gun broke. I said, hold my @buschbeer - I got this π #NASCAR
What a great @presidentscup with @fastener_pros and our great customers at the @quailhollowclubpga - from great golf, food and drink to having fun with my king crab legs at dinner - a great time was had by all!
I respect the heck out of this! My pilot from CLT to MCI on @americanair said - hmmm - windshield needs a wipin’. Call someone else? Nope - I got this. You’re never too high up to do the things you once did to get where you are. Never too good to sweep the floor. Wipe the windshield. ππΌππ»
My life has been a series of some pretty high highs and very low lows. I’ve taken this year to heal. Get healthy: mind, body, soul. Sometimes we need a reset. Yesterday I had the honor to give a speech via Zoom wearing this uniform I had no hope of squeezing into 6 months ago. I’m on my way back. It’s never too late. Keep on keepin on. #nevergiveup Next race announcement soon.
So grateful to @buschbeer #buschlight for the awesome @sim.seats racing simulator! These are key to better performance and something I had never been able to afford. #gamechanger - especially for road courses!
Another summer highlight has been our river tubing trips! (Hate Insta cut off our group pic) but that @buschbeer floating down the river was jussst right! (Essential tubing packing: umbrella, fluffy towel, sunscreen & #buschlight)
I told my friend, “Holly” π, that we will remember this as our summer of “UPTOWN”! We are equally yoked as entrepreneurs, strong women and encouragers of other women. I appreciate her (and all my strong women friends) more than they’ll ever know. YOU, bad@$$ Ladies in my life are among those who matter most!
I’m often asked about other race car drivers and if they’re nice or decent people. This is one of the kindest men I have ever encountered. I’m not going to pretend I know him well, but he has always been so gracious and kind. He once apologized for another drivers behavior toward me. When we encountered him at the game the other night he asked how I was. Then he circled back and kind of said something like “no really, you doing ok?” I sometimes fear the real men who once led this sport are fading away. I hope the next generation can uphold the decency that a lot of these great drivers exude.
What an amazing show from the sky. Scroll for rainbows & fireworks! #futbol @charlottefc v @chelseafc @bofastadium w @fastener_pros & our awesome customers!
Busted!!! Work work work work work πΆπΆπ΅it’s awesome to have a fellow #girlboss who also wants to work in beautiful places and use down time to catch up! Love this girl!
Y’all… it’s #pridemonth - you know what that means? UDOU!! Respect one another. Be kind. Love wins. So proud to have @noh8campaign and @wnashville as a partner and to be surrounded by genuine love and fun!!!
Thank you to everyone who came to the @wnashville last night to see the @noh8campaign and me. It’s so nice to get back out there and see you all again!
We wanted to load last night so we could be fresh and ready for tonight’s appearance @wnashville !!! Sometimes you just gotta kick off your flip flops and get it done! π After a great day working @fastener_pros I am ready to see our Nashville fans and friends! Tonight 6-8pm
PSA Alert: I used a filter to try not to gross you out too much. SKIN CANCER is no joke. If you have spots/scaly patches/bumps that come up out of nowhere please please get them checked out. RACE FANS AND THOSE OF US WHO SPEND DAYS AND DAYS IN THE SUN AT THE TRACK - please take heed. As a teenager I laid in tanning beds in vain. Today I pay the price BUT I am diligent about having them checked. Almost every scar you see on my body is an actual skin cancer removed. I’ve had melanoma, basal cell and squamous cell. More crop up every year or so. The appearance of most of them are reduced greatly by the awesome services @rmedspa provides for skin resurfacing and scar reduction. It’s a process. But it’s life saving! Shout out also to my dermatologists @epiphanydermatologyriverside in KC who take my skin seriously. ππΌππ»
Happy Mother’s Day!
If you have a great Mom something just changes in you when she’s gone. This is my 4th Mother’s Day since my Mom passed and I decided to do something to make her proud instead of sulk and feeling sad all day. Thanks to my friend @paulahugheskendrach - I signed up and completed my 1st 5K!!! Thanks to her and her great friends for their patience - especially with the emergency pit stop at the porta potty halfway! πππ

It’s hard to believe it’s been 3 years since I traveled halfway around the world and met another great bestie. A well deserved birthday night out for my little Russian doll ππππΌ
