Biography:
I am Sara Elrod. I am 22 years old. I am currently in classes at Ivy Tech for Welding and Industrial Technology.
I was born in Wichita, Kansas. My parents Bill & Donna adopted me at birth. We moved to Remington, Indiana when I was at the age of 3, where I still currently reside...
My first experience with racing was at the Indianapolis Time Trials when I was 3 years old. I told my parents, “I want to do that!”, and the rest is history. Shortly after turning 5 my parents took me to the local dirt track to watch micro sprint racing, and I fell in love. A few months later my dad took me to Farmer City, Illinois and we brought home my first race car (100cc Jr. Sprint). I ran this from age 6 to 10 with numerous feature wins and a championship in 2003.
At the age of 10 I moved up to a restricted 600cc Micro Sprint. I ran this for 2 years with great success before moving up to the Winged Outlaw Class.
The Outlaw Class has brought me to around 20 different tracks in more than 10 states, on every type of dirt track surface, shape, or banking imaginable. I have been lucky enough to earn more feature wins in this class, and in 2008 another championship. I have learned a lot on and off of the track.
In 2014 I earned my ARCA License after testing at Daytona with Bill Kimmel in my first attempt driving a stock car at an average of 178.5 mph. In 2014 I also tested an F500 and ran a few TAG 125cc road course go kart races.
My passion for racing is very deep. I have dedicated my life to it, and after 16 full season of racing I wouldn’t change a thing. I will continue to work hard on my pursuit of achieving my dream, being a professional race car driver.
