Sunny is returning to racing after taking time off to start a family. “I’ve been fortunate enough to keep behind the wheel from time to time while starting a family. The support from my family is contagious and I’m looking forward to getting back to fulfilling my dream. I don’t make any apologies for being a mother and taking that time off…my children are precious to me and I want to prove to them and other mothers out there that try and juggle their “dreams” that with hard work, anything is possible.”
Sunny has diverse racing experience on both oval tracks and road courses, sports cars and stock cars. Her stock car experience includes ARCA, IPOWER (previously NASCAR Dash), Late Model Stock Cars and Late Model Trucks. In addition to her stock car racing, Sunny has been competing in SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) and NASA (National Auto Sport Assoc.).
