Shayna Texter AMA Pro Flat Track Interview


By "Freewheeling" Frankie Garcia

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

In the past year-and-a-half we have witnessed the unprecedented happen not once but twice. It began when Elena Myers became the first female to win an AMA Pro road race with her victory in the Supersport class at Infineon Raceway. This past Saturday, history was made again as we watched
Flat track racer Shayna Texter made history this past weekend at Iowa's Knoxville Raceway when she became the first female to win an AMA Pro Flat Track race. Texter held off a hard-charging Briar Bauman for the victory in the AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com Singles Half-Mile.
Shayna Texter become the first female rider to win an AMA Grand National Dirt Track race when she captured the flag in the Pro Singles Half-Mile at Knoxville, Iowa. The crowd went absolutely wild. We were so excited for Shayna we gave her a call from the opposite side of the country to talk to her about her accomplishment.

Motorcycle USA: TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF.

Shayna: I’m Shayna Texter from Willow Street, PA. I pretty much live in Amish country. I started racing in 2003 full-time but started riding when I was three years old. I had to wait for my dad to retire from professional road racing. I was the 2003 AMA Female Sports Rider of the Year and I won multiple amateur national championships and Hot Shoes in the 450 Pro Sport Class. Just this past weekend I became the first female to ever win a Grand National dirt track race and the first female to ever be in the victory circle at Knoxville Speedway.

YOU’RE THE FIRST FEMALE TO EVER WIN AN AMA GRAND NATIONAL DIRT TRACK. HOW’S THAT FEEL?

It feels amazing; I’m still smiling from ear to ear. I had to go back and re-watch the video last night by myself at two in the morning and make sure it was actually real. It’s been a dream of mine the last couple years to win a Grand National dirt track race, especially when my dad and grandfather passed away. My motivation has gotten even higher so I just put my head down and got to work and in the end, it paid off and I’m a winner.
