F-R Racing's Garage Talk - Mazda MX-5 Cup Driver Heather Hadley
We have officially made it to episode 100 of @frracingonline's Garage Talk and we are very excited today to spend episode 100 sitting down with one of the young talents in motorsport. Mazda MX-5 Cup driver, Heather Hadley joins D.J. and Erik (on the phone) to talk about her career so far and the steps her and her family took to get her where she is today.
We talk about her beginnings with indoor karting, moving outdoors, and then to the US Legends Cars series. When she uprooted her life to go to college in North Carolina to get closer to the NASCAR world, she never expected that she would end up driving Mazda MX-5 cars.
We also discuss her work with the great organization, @ShiftUpNow and how they are helping to promote and grow the number of women involved in motorsports.
