Women continue to make headway in professional motorcycle race series worldwide. Top-class riders like Maria Herrera, Ana Carrasco, and Laia Sanz have blazed trails in recent years, but NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racer Angelle Sampey has been taking it to the boys for decades.
The three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle champion has the hardware to prove it, and she isn’t slowing down any time soon.

Held in Norwalk, Ohio, on June 24-27, 2022, the sixth round of the season marked a critical juncture in the championship chase.
