Laura Butcher’s Mission to Build Off-Road Racing’s Future
In this inspiring episode, Melinda Russell interviews Laura Butcher, an off-road motorsports leader from northern Nevada whose journey into racing was deeply influenced by her late brother, Mike, an off-road racer himself. Laura shares how her initial involvement in motorsports began as pit support and co-driving with her brother before his passing in 2014. After stepping away from her career as a paramedic, Laura unexpectedly took over leadership of the Valley Off-Road Racing Association (VORA) after a chance conversation with Dave Cole of King of the Hammers.
