The Thrilling Endurance of One Lap of America with Becky Burton

Becky Burton, a trailblazer in the male-dominated motorsports industry, has overcome numerous challenges on her journey to becoming the crew chief for Robertson Racing. Her passion for racing, ignited in 2018, has led her to establish her own team and business, specializing in trackside setup, analysis, and coaching. Despite facing exclusion and not fitting in, Becky's determination and work ethic, inspired by her grandpa, have propelled her forward. Becky's perspective on her journey and challenges in the industry is that while she has not been outright told that she doesn't belong, she recognizes the underlying biases and barriers that exist. She believes that the lack of invitation and inclusion for women in the industry has made it difficult for women to feel like they belong. However, she encourages other women to get involved in all aspects of motorsports, emphasizing the importance of trying new things and pushing past self-doubt. Becky also acknowledges the need for more exposure and publicity for women in motorsports, as well as the importance of women supporting each other in the industry.
