Sheena Monk is racing in the IMSA WeatherTech Series this year sharing her GTD Acura NSX with Indy car and sports car ace Katherine Legge. We caught up with Sheena during the media day press luncheon for the 2023 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. She fills us in on how racing has been interwoven throughout her life, yet her real start in racing didn’t happen until just a few short years ago. We learn about how she and Katherine work together, including car set-up, as well as the mental and physical aspects of driving this fabulous race car. At this event, they earned a top ten finish (ninth) and Legge set the fastest race lap in the class. FYI, Sheena will be racing this weekend (Sept. 15-17, 2023) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the penultimate round of the season before the “Petit Le Mans” final event at Road Atlanta (Oct. 11-14). Enjoy!
NOTE: This is just one of a series of “Women in Motorsports” podcast interviews. September is the month that Fast Lane Racing School will highlight the diversity of roles that women play in the motorsports industry.
