These Women Are Changing the Face of Racing in ‘First to the Finish’

from What Drives Her - From A Girls Guide to Cars · host A Girls Guide to Cars

We love the Mazda Miata MX-5 for being the ultimate roadster, and one of the few left on the road. This two-seater convertible proves that dynamite comes in a small, unassuming package, which also makes it the ideal race car, perfect for ambitious teams and drivers conquering the race track. And increasingly, those drivers are women. Amazon Prime’s new series, First to the Finish, brings the stories and passion of drivers Heather Hadley racing for Hendricks Motorsports, Sally Mott racing for JTR Motorsports Engineering, and BSI Racing team owner Shea Holbrook, to the streaming screen on March 25th. Ahead of the show’s premiere we went into the paddock with these women as they competed in the Mazda Miata MX-5 Cup Series in St. Petersburg, FL. First to the Finish, which captures the heat on the track, the stress behind the scenes and the passion of Shea, Sally and Heather as they live to race and compete to win is produced by the team from Welcome to Wrexham and Cheer. This Is a production of A Girls Guide to Cars Producer: Sara Lacey Editor: Stephanie Howard Hosts: Scotty Reiss and Natalie Merola Guest: Heather Hadley, Shea Holbrook, and Sally Mott. Visit us at A Girls Guide to Cars and read the full article here: https://agirlsguidetocars.com/list/first-to-the-finish-mazda-miata/ Follow us on Instagram @agirlsguide2cars And follow this podcast for more great conversations with people who are changing the automotive world from the inside! Don't miss out—leave a review, share your thoughts, and stay connected for more empowering conversations on What Drives Her.
