Sometimes we still make assumption on gender based on a set of accomplishments, especially in racing. We assume that someone named Stacy must be a man if that Stacy has 100 race wins. I’m pretty sure that most people who hear the name Shayna are assuming she’s in fact a woman, but I doubt many would assume she’s the winningest racer in the history of the American Flat Track Singles Class. But she is, and this video here shows you just how she got there. This is a cool story.
Meet Shayna Texter, the winningest rider in the history of the American Flat Track Singles class. After entering the professional ranks in 2008, Texter was faced with a harsh reality in 2011 – either start winning – or quit. Against all odds, Shayna chose to continue and began racking up the wins and eventually landed herself a spot on a factory race team. Far from satisfied – Texter is ready to do more than win races, she’s setting out to become a champion. Dive into her legacy and follow along to a few races in this episode of Change of Pace.
She nailed the sling shot pass in that last race!!! Damn good rider!!!
I was at Knoxville that night when he wonder first race. The place was electric the last 5 laps. Watching her perfect form on the back straight was a thing of beauty.
Best of luck in the future.
