Content warning: This is STK/SS adjacent and has to do with sponsorships, but not directly tied to STK/SS. Just wanted to get on my soap box for a moment.

So I'm surfing FB like we all do and come across a "Sponsored" post by some ugly blonde. One of those regular posts that you see on FB from time to time where the creator paid to boost it so that people that don't follow the page will see it. Curiosity took hold.

The post was more or less a season re-cap, with phrases like "what a great season my 'team' has had" and "we had some ups and downs..." She thanks sponsors, family, team members, typical bullsh!t. I'm looking and reading this post thinking: "this is the kind of post somebody that's absolutely trash at drag racing would make." So I look at the handful of images attached to the post. All of them include her, lots of cleavage and make-up, and a twin turbo top dragster fully wrapped and littered with sponsors, with a stacker to boot. So I think to myself "ouch, might have been too soon to judge, perhaps she's very successful and I've just never heard of her."

So I decide to investigate a little further. Can't find her on the D7 TD points list. hmm, weird. So I check everybody's favorite class racing matchup tool, DragInsights. There I find the truth. In 31 total TD events, dating back to 2020, she has a grand total of 25 round wins (a round win percentage of 44%) and a best event finish of 3rd round loss. That is not impressive.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super hot garbage at running stock, with a worse round win percentage in 5 events this year, so I'm not trying to throw stones at the record. But I also drive a backyard special with holes in the floor, and I certainly don't boost my "had fun this year but am trash at racing" posts on social media.

They say envy is the thief of joy. I am extremely grateful for all that I have and I am very proud of it and all my race family. BUT WHY IN THE EVER LOVING HELL DOES SHE HAVE 5 SPONSORS AND STARTING A TOP ALCOHOL TEAM?! Why does all the talent that already exists in NHRA class racing get overlooked in favor of some well spoken person? It makes me so mad. I'll post a few images so you guys can make your own judgement. I'll never understand corporate America and I hate it more everyday.

fyi, her main sponsor is OnlyFans (primarily a pornography sight) and her nude photos exist in the public domain (That's one thing I did not research, someone DMed me on FB griping about it too and told me that). She essentially got where she is by selling herself and is openly proud and embracing it. Gross.
