PROFILE
Growing up as the only girl with two other siblings, Deborah was exposed to lots of “tomboy” activities. It was only natural that she developed such a passion for racing. Her father and brothers kept her behind the controls of all sorts of speed machines as a youngster, from motorcycles, 4-wheelers, jet skis, to Legend racecars. No one who knew her was surprised when she made the jump to racing stock cars.
As she got older, she attended several racing schools where she instantly excelled. So much in fact, that she earned 1999 runner-up Rookie of the year honors in the Late Model Stock Car division. As one instructor put it regarding Deborah’s racing skill, “Deborah has the talent to drive a racecar at any level of competition that she desires. Now, all she needs are valuable seat time and a sponsorship, and she’ll go far. She is a very smooth driver.” (1999)
When race day comes, she repeats her 4-step motto that helps put her in the groove and put her game face on. FOCUS, PATIENCE, RELAX, and SMILE, then she drops the hammer! Deborah aims to keep her promise to her team, fans, and herself. When the race starts she will give 110% to put the #12 Monte Carlo up front.
Deborah is a confident young lady currently making her mark at Nashville Speedway in the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series. Entering her third year in Late Models, she has shown the consistency and knowledge needed to attain the championship. Nashville Speedway USA is a .596 mile NASCAR sanctioned track with 18-degree banks. The Renshaw Racing team is expecting another exciting year of excellent and unparalleled action for all involved including everyone from the team to the fans.
“Racing is my way of life . . . I want a successful career of it,” explains Deborah. Her future goals are to be paired with an exceptional race team to acquire a championship. Her ultimate goal would be to progress to the ranks of Winston Cup.
