While most teenage girls were hanging out at the mall, playing dress up, or watching silly movies, Dystany Spurlock, a Richmond native, was at the race track with her godfather. She watched his every move and dreamed of following in his footsteps.
Dystany’s desire to ride motorcycles started when she begged her mother for a ride on the back of her motorcycle. On their way home, before they approached their last straight road, Dystany would yell, “Hit It, Mom!” and Dystany would get her required dose of speed. It didn’t take her mother long to figure out Dystany’s need for speed. After her early childhood experiences on motorcycles, Dystany was determined to figure out how to get on the track.
Spending time with her godfather helped Dystany learn her way around the track. Since graduating from high school, Dystany turned her dream into a reality by breaking records with her motorcycle. She has made her mark in the motorcycle world and is now transitioning into the NASCAR Circuit.
