Shea HolbrookShea Racing, LLC. is proud to announce its participation in the World Challenge season opener, March 26-28, at St Petersburg, Fla.

Team owner and driver Shea Holbrook, 19, of Groveland, Fla., will strap-in and make her debut professional road race in the World Challenge Touring Car (TC) class. According to series archives, Shea is one of the youngest female drivers to take the grid in World Challenge history.

Holbrook is a competitor thru-and-thru. Formerly a state-, regional- and nationally- ranked water-skier, she is no stranger to the thrill of speed or danger. A few years ago, Holbrook traded in the water skies for the smell of race fuel and burnt rubber.

"It's an awesome experience go over a jump at 50-plus mph to hurl yourself hundreds of feet thru the air, but it just doesn"t compare to going into turn 17 at Sebring at 100-plus mph,” Holbrook said.

Holbrook is currently a college student studying Broadcasting and wants to make motorsports a career.

“This being my first professional race, I have two goals,” Holbrook added. “First, to bring the car home in one piece and second, for all those veteran drivers out there that read this, regardless of where I finish, I plan on giving you all the respect that you deserve and I’m thankful for having the opportunity.” www.girlracer.co.uk
