Sara Price, 23, a successful multi-championship Professional Motocross and UTV racer from Southern California is the first woman to compete in the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks Presented by TRAXXAS Series. Price made her debut during the Honda Indy Toronto July 15-17 in Toronto, Canada. Hitting speeds of upwards of 140 mph, and launching over 20 feet in the air, the identically prepared 650 hp Stadium SUPER Trucks offer Price a unique opportunity to prove herself in a discipline dominated by men.
Sara has continuously been breaking down barriers in motorsports. She won over 17 national championships in motocross and medaled in the X-Games before making the switch to four wheels, winning several Off-Road and Time Attack racing championships.
She’s determined not only to be the first woman to start in Stadium Super Trucks, but to contend for a spot on the podium:
“I’m extremely excited to be transitioning into the SST Series. When Robby Gordon called me two years ago saying I need to get into one of his Stadium SUPER Trucks, I just put my head down and started getting to work. SST is where I want to be, and I’m very pumped to be competing in the same exact truck as the other competitors, it’s truly a dream come true.”
When asked about Sara’s involvement in Stadium SUPER Trucks, Robby Gordon; Series President; Former NASCAR and IndyCar Winner and Off-Road Champion commented, “Sure there has been other women whom have competed in motorsports history, but it is not too often you are able find the complete package. Sara has the talent, beauty, and sense of drive, to continue writing Stadium SUPER Trucks history well into the future, including becoming the first female SST winner and push to become a Champion.”
