Former WMX Racer Sara Price fought, battled, and clawed her
way to a driving career, and nearly won Dakar in her first
attempt. She was once a WMX racer with support from Kawasaki
Team Green, but when her moto career, and the factory support for
WMX racing, went away, she had to find a new way to stay
competitive. She set her sights on off-road racing in trucks, but
the process of succeeding on four wheels is far different from
motocross. Sara joins Jason Weigandt to explain truck and car
racing, which is based heavily on burning up the phones and emails
to try to get financial support. It's a lot of hearing no, all in
hopes of one big yes that can get you into a seat. After great
success in Baja racing, Sara's goal has always been to tackle the
famous Dakar Rally, which she finally got to do this year. And she
battled for her win in her first attempt! Further, her boyfriend
Ricky Brabec won the race in the motorcycle division. Sara's also
an accomplished stunt driver and rider, and even appeared in a
Toyota Super Bowl commercial on Sunday. There's a lot to talk about
here. Check it out.
