Angelle Sampey is a three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle champion and not only the winningest female in NHRA but professional motorsports. Sampey sits down for a chat on all things drag racing, but we first start with how things are in the swamp a year after Hurricane Ida. From there, we dig into the season and why she believes her team “is the one to beat” in Pro Stock Motorcycle this year; why Angelle says she’s fighting herself on the bike; having self-confidence in drag racing; breaking down the skill it takes to drive a Pro Stock Motorcycle; the origin story of falling in love with motorcycles; going through a beauty pageant phase and how she went from hating it to realize it was another form of competition; the story of the first leathers she wore in her NHRA debut and how that connects to the correct pronunciation of her name; secretly testing a Winston Cup stock car; being afraid of being a girl in racing and calling it one of the biggest mistakes in her career; if it’s surreal to have taken a nearly six-year break from racing to come back and be just as successful; shooting for 50 career national event wins; the 2021 championship loss being a driving force.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Angelle qualified No. 1 at Indianapolis for the U.S. Nationals, which is her fourth No. 1 qualifier of the season. She was eliminated in the first round.
