In this episode of the Women’s Motorsports Network Podcast, host Melinda Russell sits down trackside at the Kalamazoo Clash with 14-year-old late model racer Chloe Mazzagotti from New Franklin, Ohio. Racing runs deep in her family — her dad races late models, her little brother Michael competes in Bandoleros and Legends, and Chloe is carving her own path in the sport.
Chloe shares how homeschooling makes racing possible, how she balances school with a busy racing schedule, and the adrenaline and friendships that fuel her love for the track. She talks about her goals of advancing into pro late models, the CRA, and eventually NASCAR, along with the faith and support system that keeps her motivated. From flipping a Bandolero and still finishing second, to shocking the field with a win in just her second late model start, Chloe’s story is one of grit, talent, and inspiration.
