Car Chix announces long time Car Chix Member, Miranda Lawson as Ms. January in the 2016 Car Chix Calendar (order you 2016 Car Chix Calendar here)!  What a great way to start off the New Year!  Miranda is an incredable woman and is a true inspiration to women in motorsports.  She earned her spot in the calendar during the Annual Car Chix Women of Motorsports Contest (Read: Car Chix Women of Motorsports Contest Breaks the Internet) that had 440 global entries in 7 days!
Miranda Lawson is Physical Therapy Student from Elwood, Illinois.  She races a 1967 Chevy Nova in the NHRA Division 3 Bracket Series Pro Class at her home track, Route 66 Raceway.   Miranda is associated and sponsored by Car Chix, Lawson’s Garage Inc. & John Lawson’s Auto Rebuilders.  Some of her most recent racing accomplishments include finishing in the top 50 out of over 100 cars in the pro class, making it down to the last few cars in the NMCA/NMRA race at Route 66 Raceway in the B2 class and winning the ‘Hottest Ride’ award during the Car Chix Race.
The racing bug runs deep in the Lawson Family! “My uncle, John Lawson, raced NHRA for quite some time.  My entire family was always into cars and racing.  As a kindergartner, the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up was a racecar driver,” Miranda explains,” My dad is one of the biggest influences in my life because he helped fulfill my dreams.”
What Miranda loves most about racing is the atmosphere.  “The fellow racers are nothing but supportive and would drop what they’re doing if something is going wrong,” Miranda says,” I also love the adrenaline rush.  Nothing beats the feeling of seeing that win light come on.”
With a ‘Go For It’ attitude, Miranda encourages other women to get involved with racing.  “Always follow your dreams, Miranda says,”Don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you love!”
And we second that! We are honored to have Miranda as the month of January.  We look forward to seeing what Miranda and crew accomplish this upcoming season.
