Teri has been involved in the family business for many years. She has helped with finding new sponsors, doing media relations, scheduling the travel for the team, but the most fun was either driving the race car herself or going to the roof and spotting for the drivers. Either way, she could be a hero or a zero in less than .02 seconds. “Driving and spotting both involve a ton of stress, keeping yourself or your driver from the big crashes and bring home the checkered flag is what it is all about.” comments Teri.

 Racing has been Teri’s passion and driving force for many years. But she is interested in many other areas.  She has a love for people and enjoys speaking to different age groups regarding her faith, her life and her racing passion. Teri has learned that priorities and prayer are two of the most important things in life.

Most people have fear, but what happens when your biggest fears come true, and turn out to be the best experiences of life.  The top three fears people have is the fear of losing their job or identity, getting hurt and losing their quality of life, or death.  Teri crashed in 1997 and broke her neck in three places. She became pregnant and had to quit racing to look after her child and hen she lost her father.  But if you were to ask Teri today, she would tell you that breaking her neck was one of the best things to happen to her because she learned many valuable lessons from that experience.  After learning about the baby, Teri was devastated; she was on the verge of signing a race contract with a good team and doing her first NASCAR Busch race. The following year she walked down the road of death with her father and with her faith and family she found peace and happiness through it all. Teri is a natural behind the TV camera and has shown her talent to Disney, ABC and many other networks. She hosted Disney’s Car ready, a 52 part series on car care, has helped produce and host her own show, Rev it Up, and was co-host on GoodNews sports.  She is always looking for other opportunities to get behind the camera.
