In this episode of the Women’s Motorsports Network podcast, Melinda Russell sits down with longtime racer Lena Chin, a Chicago-based driver who competes in the Gridlife Touring Cup (GLTC) with her Honda S2000. Lena shares her 17-year racing journey—from falling in love with motorsports as a child at the 12 Hours of Sebring to competing in one of the most competitive grassroots racing series in the country.
Listeners will get an inside look at the vibrant world of Gridlife, where racing meets music and community, as well as Lena’s views on success, sponsorship, and inspiring the next generation of female racers. Lena also opens up about balancing racing, work, and life with her rescue dog Foxy by her side, plus her favorite tracks, including Gingerman Raceway and Lime Rock.
