Dystany Spurlock , of Goldvein, Va., on her Buell National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock drag-racing motorcycle, as told to A.J. Baime.
I have done a lot of things in my career. I am a motorsport racer. I have worked as an actor, a model and I drive a tractor trailer.

I have been drag racing bikes for a long time at lower levels, and last year I was with a team and things were not going as planned. I learned through one of my sponsors about someone selling a Pro Stock team. I thought: ‘This is my time. God is telling me to do this. Let’s move!’
