Racing Destiny

Who would have thought that my racing destiny would start at birth? Before my birth, my parents had chosen the name Brittany Marie for me, to be named after my mom. Both of my parents were huge NASCAR fans and loved the sport of Racing. Well, Bobby Allison had a bad wreck a short time before I was born, and at the time, he was my parent's favorite racer. Well as I lay there on my mom's stomach without my name being final, my mom looked to my dad in tears and said "Everyone will think I'm crazy, but I want to name her Brittany Allison after Bobby." My dad totally agreed, and said that it would be a great name. I guess you could say right from that moment, I was destined to be a racecar driver.

My first trip to a racetrack was when I was 4, when my dad used to race stock cars at New Smyrna Speedway. He raced a Bomber, a Late-Model, and later on a Modified. The first time I stepped foot inside the racetrack, you couldn't get me to stop coming. Every week I couldn't wait for Saturday night to come back again, it's what got me through the school weeks. I grew up around my Uncle Tank and my dad racing Modifieds. By the time I reached the age of 8, I wanted to race so bad that I couldn't wait until I was old enough. That day finally came when I was 10.

I came to watch my Uncle Tank race, and in corners one and two there was a huge dirt pile. As my luck would have it, they were building a Quarter Midget track inside of New Smyrna Speedway for kids my age, from 5-16. There were Quarter Midget drivers that were already in the sport that did a parade lap that night. I looked on in amazement at my dad and said "Daddy I want one!" My dad thought I was joking, but being the outgoing little girl that I was, I kept bugging him that I wanted one. It took about 2 months to convince him that I was serious about getting a Quarter Midget, as having two daughters he never thought one of his girls would want to race.

In November 2000 I got my first racecar! My dad asked me to go into the garage to get a screwdriver, and in the garage was sitting a quarter midget! I swear I must have sat in my garage for at least 4 hours that night. My first time ever in my quarter midget, my Uncle Tank and Dad took me to a parking lot at my Uncle's jobsite. I ran over a parking stopper and blew a tire and that was it for me. I have come along way from the parking lot though!

In 2001, I ran in the Novice class so that I could learn all about the car. I won my first race, and from there it was a roller coaster ride. In late 2001, I moved into the Senior Honda class and that's where my fun began. By 2002 I ran my first full season, and I finished 5th in points for the Senior Honda class. 2003 is the year I started to sparkle! I started racing in the class of Heavy Honda. I struggled in this class in the beginning, but a family whose younger son, Matt races saw the drive I had in me. They helped my Dad and I get faster, and from that time is when I took off.

In February 2003 I traveled to Columbus, OH, a track I had never been on, and finished 3 rd . In May 2003 I set a track record of 6.437 at our state race. Although I was fast, I was finishing 2 nd or 3 rd , but never a 1 st place. My first win came on the last night that I was racing my car before selling it to get my new quarter midget. That was when my luck changed, and I won five features after that. But my all time favorite memory was yet to come!

The “Tangerine” is a big event that is ran every year (December 26-31 2003), and it was my dream to win this race from the days I started. I qualified 5th out of 30 racers, and I ended up winning both heat races! I thought for sure when I ended up on the outside pole that my luck would run out In the A main. But I was wrong! I became the 2003 Heavy Honda Tangerine Winner!! For 2003 I finished 3rd in New Smyrna points, 2nd in the state of Florida and 2nd in Apopka points.

2004 also had a ton of highlights! I ran at tracks in Georgia, Indiana, and Connecticut. In May, I was invited to the “Women in the Winners Circle” event hosted by legendary racer Lyn St. James. I finished 4 th in points at New Smyrna, my home track, and second at Sharpes with one race to go. I was faced with a huge decision. I was invited to go attend a driver development school in Arizona with Lyn St. James. The driving school and the last race of the season were the same weekend. I had to make a huge decision go to the school, or race and possibly win the championship. I called Lyn St. James and she said that I could attend the driving school next year so the decision was made. I knew I had a chance, and gave it my best shot. I ended up winning the last race and finishing in a tie for first place. I became the 2004 Track Champion of MFQMRA. In 2005 I plan to travel to tracks in Georgia and race at the two tracks in Florida (Sharpes and New Smyrna).

I have had the privilege to do something that some kids only can dream about. I have had my dreams come true but I have bigger ones! My goal since I was 5 was to make it big time into NASCAR or World of Outlaws. Hopefully with help I will get there and I have faith that if I give it my all, I can do anything! After all, that's why my motto is “Never Give Up”
