Natalie has always been a big supporter of Car Chix and women in motorsports.  She has always been a role model to other women in automotive industry and encourages the next generation to follow their dreams and passions.
“Do what you are passionate about and do it with the respect and love you would want to see someone else do it with,” Natalie says, “When you are at the start line it is not “male” and “female” its racer against racer. Give the respect to the sport that you want to receive in return.”
That is pretty solid advice!  Natalie has been working hard in the garage this winter and is expected to debut her Chevy powered Mustang with a number of advancements.  We are looking forward to seeing her hit the track this season!
