This week's episode captures her passion and tenacity, zooming from her homespun Louisiana beginnings to the adrenaline-packed challenges of the upcoming 2024 NHRA racing season. With eyes set on the prize and her heart anchored in her roots, Angelle recounts the twist of fate that brought her and her neighbor-turned-sponsor Billy Lawson together, united by their love for speed and critters. She also shares the exhilarating leap from two wheels to four, inspired by the NHRA legend Antron Brown, and the fierce determination that drove her to pilot an  A-Fuel Dragster.As the engines cool, we shift gears to the importance of family and the shared joy of racing. It's more than a pursuit of victory; it's about the bonds that form trackside and the traditions that fuel our spirits, like the savory delight of Louisiana's crawfish season. Angelle opens up about the thrill of potentially testing for Antron Brown Motorsports and the importance of readiness and funding in the racing world. Through her eyes, we glimpse the personal milestones, such as a child's first tooth, and understand how social media bridges the gap, bringing the experience to fans everywhere with the help of a talented family photographer.Before we cross the finish line, buckle up as we take a quick detour to share the latest from Motor Trend TV, dropping hints about the shows that have gearheads talking. \\Then, it's all about the drive as Don Armstrong shares his take on the 2024 Mazda3 – a car that may have tech quirks, but delivers on the promise of a sporty experience. We compare it to its rivals and muse on future design wishes. Remember, if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of automotive exhilaration, join us live every Saturday morning, or catch our podcast across all major platforms, where we fuel your passion for all things automotive with expert commentary you won't want to miss.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
