From Go-Karts to Glory: 10-Year-Old Sadie Parsons Chases NASCAR Dreams

Meet the extraordinary Sadie Parsons, a 10-year-old racing phenom who's already collecting championships like most kids collect toys. From the moment her father introduced her to go-kart racing at age five, Sadie has been on an unstoppable journey through the motorsports world.

Born into racing royalty—both her parents met on the go-kart circuit—Sadie has quickly advanced through multiple racing classes with remarkable skill. She confidently discusses the nuances between driving go-karts, Bandoleros, Legend cars, and Crown Vics with the expertise of someone three times her age. What's more impressive? She doesn't just drive these machines; she can completely disassemble and rebuild them, understanding every mechanical aspect of her vehicles.

The results speak volumes: five championships in a single season, across multiple racing classes. Her trophy collection has outgrown her bedroom, now spanning hallways and the family race shop. Between homeschooling (which she completes in about an hour daily), gymnastics training, and maintaining her race cars, Sadie demonstrates a work ethic and maturity that defies her years.

Throughout our conversation, Sadie's genuine passion for motorsports shines through, matched only by her humility and faith. "I know without Him I wouldn't have this ability to race," she shares, crediting God for her talents. Her ultimate goal? NASCAR—and given her trajectory, few would bet against her getting there.

This is the Women's Motorsports Network podcast, connecting and celebrating women in motorsports. One story at a time. Let's hit the track. Hello everyone, this is Melinda Russell, with the Women's Motorsports Network podcast, and my guest today is Sadie Parsons, and Sadie comes to us from Florida, but I'm going to let her tell you more about that. And so, sadie, I want to welcome you to the show, and would you first start by sharing a little bit about yourself?

Speaker 2: 1:23

My name is Sadie Parsons. I am 10 years old. I live in Winter Haven, florida. I have two dogs, I have a little brother, a mom and a dad, and then I started racing when I was five years old hey, go-kart, oh gosh.

Speaker 1: 1:44

So he started in the go-kart and you were five years old. So who in your family got you interested in racing?

Speaker 2: 1:50

tell me your story so both of my parents raced go-karts um, that's actually how they met. So my dad also raced stock cars out of arbor and dale speedway. He raced a mod mini. So my dad and my grandpa actually took me out to a go-kart track. It was a little asphalt track and we went out to watch. And then the next weekend I came out and I raced a champ car out there. So that's really how I got started.

Speaker 1: 2:23

Okay, it didn't take you long to figure out that you liked it, did it no, ma'am right, I liked it yeah, it sounded. It sounded like it. In a week's time you were ready to go back for sure. So your mom and your dad both raced and they met at the racetrack. That's a pretty interesting story yes, ma'am, it is. Yeah, they both used to race go-karts, so that's how they met, and were they just little kids when they met, or were they older?

Speaker 1: 2:55

um they were kids, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty cool because they both had, they found something that they both enjoyed and and now they're married and they have, and they have. You now does your little brother race as well?

Speaker 2: 3:09

yes, ma'am, he's six years old and he races go karts. We race dirt go karts now, so we both race that and he's going to get into the bando, the bandolero, soon out at arbor day speedway okay, that'll be fun.

Speaker 1: 3:23

He's going to love that, for sure. So, um, when you were growing up, do you remember your parents racing, or did they quit racing before you were born?

Speaker 2: 3:37

Um, so my mom and dad, but they both got out of go-karts before I was born. But my dad, he still raced the Ma Mini out at Auburndale Speedway when I was born. I think he stopped racing whenever I really got into racing, like I was probably around seven, maybe six or seven, and then my dad kind of went back to go-karts with me for a little bit and then he stopped doing that because it was just too much with me racing. And then once my brother got into it too.

Speaker 1: 4:06

So yeah, it's all he can do to handle both of you racing, probably, and not not himself as well. Yeah, so, um, you've raced since you were five years old and now you're 11. So you said you started out in a champ car. What other kind of cars have you raced between that and now you're racing dirt carts, did you race?

Speaker 2: 4:27

other things I started out in the champ cart um and then I got into a flat cart. I still do the flat carts on dirt um. I raced the bandolero a little bit last year for the season. I won the championship out at Armadillo Speedway and then around October last year I got into the Legend car. So I race that still. I race a Crown Vic now too in the rookie class.

Speaker 1: 4:58

Wow, you're a busy girl. So which one do you like the most, or do you have a favorite?

Speaker 2: 5:07

um, well, I kind of like the Crown Vic and Legend better than the go-karts, um, just because I feel like they're harder to drive and they're a little bit and they're faster. Um, I feel like the Crown Vic's the funnest, but the Legend car is definitely the fastest.

Speaker 1: 5:26

Okay, all right. So it's kind of fun to do different things, isn't it?

Speaker 2: 5:32

Yes, ma'am, it's so fun getting to try different cars, and just being able to drive all of those cars is definitely really exciting.

Speaker 1: 5:43

Well, and it makes you such a well-rounded driver. I think about Kyle Larson and all the different things that he drives. Sadie's going to be the female Kyle Larson. She's going to be driving all kinds of race cars when she gets a little. Well, she's already doing it, so that's pretty fun. So what was the hardest thing that you had to learn? Fun? So what was the hardest thing that you had to learn, let's say, going going from the cart to the legend or the crown vic. What's been the hardest thing to learn?

Speaker 2: 6:13

that's different between them well, like I said, the legend car is definitely faster, but in the goarts most of the tracks I race at it's flat foot around the whole track. So you definitely have to learn to, you have to lift, you have to use the brakes, you have to learn how to like drive with other cars but not be on them, because, like the legend cars, you can bend a bumper super fast if you hit someone. So I feel like the biggest difference between all of the cars I've driven is how you can drive them and how you drive them. So, like the go-kart, it's mostly flat foot everywhere, um, but in like the legend or the bando or the crown, it's mostly flat foot everywhere. But in like the Legend or the Bando or the Crown Vic, it's not flat foot anywhere you go.

Speaker 2: 7:09

I don't think Maybe some bigger tracks, but nowhere I've been. So that was definitely how to learn to use the brakes. And you have to use the steering wheel a lot more. You have to put like a lot more. It takes a lot more driver to put like a lot more.

Speaker 2: 7:30

It takes a lot more driver, I feel like in those cars than it does in like the go-karts really um.

Speaker 1: 7:36

So I feel like how many other people are they mostly adults that drive the crown, vix, or are there other kids like you?

Speaker 2: 7:47

So in the class I'm running now, I'm running the beginner class at Arbondale. They just started it, they've reversed twice in it and most of them are adults. There's probably, I say, about four kids maybe, and they're not really kids, like there's like teenagers, like there's probably four or five teenagers in it, but most of them are adults, and then in the regular class it's all adults, I think, maybe like two or three teenagers too, and so is there.

Speaker 1: 8:20

there's not an age limit, that you have to be certain old to drive one of those, or did you get special permission?

Speaker 2: 8:29

um. So in the regular ones you have to be 12, but in the rookie comics I think you're supposed to be 12 too, but I got permission to drive it um so that's cool.

Speaker 1: 8:43

You're getting a lot of good experience driving with people that are older, so that's cool. You're getting a lot of good experience driving with people that are older, so that's great. Yeah, so what's been your proudest moment? You mentioned that you've won a championship, so tell me what's your proudest moment or moments have been um well, I last year I won five championships in all the cars I raced, wow.

Speaker 2: 9:06

So I won the WKA Junior 2 Championship in the go-kart, I won, velocity Junior 1A and B in the go-karts, I won. And then in the Bando I won the Auburndale Championship and I won the Citrus County Speed Riding Championship too.

Speaker 1: 9:30

Wow, are those the trophies behind you?

Speaker 2: 9:34

Yes, ma'am, that's very cool. I have the winner showdown series trophies that are those little orange ones that I won. I swept the Showdown Series in the Legend Car this February.

Speaker 1: 9:48

And then I have the big one.

Speaker 2: 9:51

My Junior Sportsmanship Award I got in the go-kart is the small one over there. And then I have my Junior Pro Dominator and that's one of my championship trophies in the go-kart. And then this one right here is the Bandolero championship trophy.

Speaker 1: 10:11

And you've been racing five years basically five, six years, but not in all of those cars and so you're still. You're doing really, really well for not having raced that long. You're going to have to have a bigger room for all your trophies, Sadie, I think that's very cool that you have all those, so the championship.

Speaker 2: 10:35

I have a hallway that has a bunch of different trophies and checks and stuff. I have a few in the race car shop out there and then I have a lot in my bedroom on my bed frame. They're all stacked up on the top.

Speaker 1: 10:49

That's cool, very fun, so is it? You know, when you get that trophy and you've gotten a lot of them already what does that mean to you to know that you got the trophy, you won the race? You know what does that mean to you, because it doesn't come easy, does it? You've had to work for that yes, ma'am, you have to.

Speaker 2: 11:13

Just you have to put in the work. I have to work on all my race cars. Um, I can take apart the go-kart and put it together. I take apart a bandeau and put it back together. So you just have to put in the work to get those. And I believe if you put in the work, you will make it if you really want to.

Speaker 1: 11:38

Yeah, you're right for sure. So what are your goals? I know you're 11 or you're going to be 11, right, You're going to be 11. What are your goals for racing? Is it something that you want to do as a career? It's something that you want to continue to do, but maybe you want to be a nurse. What are your goals for your racing?

Speaker 2: 12:00

So my goal is to eventually get to NASCAR. Work my way up through the steps and get to there. I really want to get to NASCAR one day, so that's really my main goal.

Speaker 1: 12:13

OK, well, I'm there for you, that's, I want you to get to NASCAR too. We need, we need somebody like you in NASCAR, for sure. So do you have a favorite track, sadie?

Speaker 2: 12:29

so do you have a favorite track, sadie? Um, my favorite track that I've been to probably has to be charlotte or atlanta. I actually really like charlotte and atlanta and the legend car. It was really fun. It's way different than any other track, like it's way different from armandone Citrus, because they're really short and there's no banking at all until, like, because they're in the infield of Charlotte and Atlanta Motor Speedway the. Nascar track. So, like our front straightaway is the front stretch, is a part of the front stretch for the big NASCAR track there.

Speaker 1: 13:04

That was fun to drive on, that wasn't it? Was it fun to go there it?

Speaker 2: 13:12

was a blast to drive on those tracks. Yeah, I bet, so yeah it was amazing, just to get the experience. Yeah, we got to go see some of the NASCAR shops. I think we went to Hendrick and we went to track house to see some of the nascar shops those are fun.

Speaker 1: 13:32

I've been to those a bunch of those too and that it's fun to go there and see you know what they're doing when they're working and all the cars and all the trophies and everything that they have. That's always fun. Do you have a track that that's like your bucket list track, the one that someday you really want to race on?

Speaker 2: 13:52

so I want to try one of those road course tracks that they run the legends on. I really want to try one of those. I feel like that would be really a really fun experience, and then I feel like dominion would would be fun to go to. I heard that's a really good track too.

Speaker 1: 14:10

Okay, all right. So what are some things that you've learned from being involved in motorsport? So, for instance, you know you're pretty mature for your age, and so I think that comes along with being part of motorsports that you act older than what you really are. So what are some other things maybe that you've learned from being involved in racing competition? That kind of thing that maybe you wouldn't have learned already had you not been in motorsports.

Speaker 2: 14:44

So I feel like one of the biggest things that I've learned from racing is you have to put in the work to be good. Like you have to be out there working on your race cars, you have to keep them in shape, you have to keep them ready for the race, you have to have the equipment. So you just have to put in the work and you have to put. If you put your mind to it, you can do it. If you put in the work and you want to do it like, you can do it.

Speaker 1: 15:17

Yeah, you're right, and I think, working on the race cars, you know, you said you can take them apart and put them back together. That's pretty impressive, and the more that you know about your car, the better you're going to be, because you can tell people it's this, it's that it needs changed here or there, and so that's pretty impressive, sadie, that you do that. You know, if somebody came up to you at a race or anywhere where they brought their daughter and said, sadie, my daughter's seen you race, she wants to be just like you, what would you say to her? Would you encourage her to get involved in motorsports, and how? Where should she start?

Speaker 2: 15:57

Well, I would start off by being I would be so grateful that someone was noticing me and that they want to get into motorsports because of me, but I would just tell them that she can do it. If she really wants to do it, she can, and a good place to start is in the Bandoleros or go-karts, and Arbendo Speedway is a really good place to start too.

Speaker 1: 16:26

Okay, that's all good. So let's pretend it's race day. What does your race day look like? Do you eat before you race? You don't eat before you race. Tell me what race day looks like.

Speaker 2: 16:39

So I do eat at the track, um, but I don't usually eat a lot. Um, but I will eat some before the race. I'll get french fries from the concession stand or something.

Speaker 1: 16:53

Okay, all right. What's your favorite track food?

Speaker 2: 17:01

I like mozzarella sticks.

Speaker 1: 17:03

Okay, All right, and so do you help get the car ready? You know you help load the trailer. Do you do all that too?

Speaker 2: 17:20

Yes, ma'am, I have to. Last weekend we raced the Crown Vic and I had to change all the tires. My friend actually helped me. We had to change the tires on the Crown Vic and then, yeah, I have to help unload the car and load um, and I have to work on it.

Speaker 1: 17:31

Yeah, and then is it just you and your dad and your mom, or or do you have other people that come and help?

Speaker 2: 17:37

Um. So in the legend car we have a team, vip Motorsports, uh, with Jim and Chase. They help us in the legend car, um. And then in the go-karts we have a team too, eleanor racing chassis with Chase and Tara, and then the Crown Vic. We really do it ourselves. It's my dad, me, my mom and then my uncle. Dustin and Brittany help with it, and when Bobby Mobley and Wiley are at the track, they'll help us too.

Speaker 1: 18:10

Okay, everybody kind of pitches in when they need it, don't they? Yeah, that's one of the great parts about racing that, even if they're your competitor on the track, if you need something at the track, they're willing to help for sure.

Speaker 2: 18:29

Do you have any superstitions?

Speaker 1: 18:32

No, do you always wear the same?

Speaker 2: 18:33

socks, or the same shirt or no I, but I do like to pray before me and my mom. We pray when I'm in my car before I go up to staging before every race.

Speaker 1: 18:43

So that's good. Yeah, gives you that calm inner feeling, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, for sure. So do you go to school or are you homeschooled? I'm homeschooled, ok, but you, have you ever gone to school, or homeschooling is new.

Speaker 2: 19:03

Yes, ma'am, this is my second year of homeschooling, so I went to school for most of it, but okay, I started years ago.

Speaker 1: 19:14

All right. So do you still have a lot of friends from school and if so, what do they think about you being homeschooled and being gone and going racing? Do they understand? Do they come to watch, or?

Speaker 2: 19:27

or you've kind of lost track with them so I do have still some of my friends, um, because my brother still goes to school where I went to school at, so we'll probably homeschool him soon but he's still in first grade so he still goes to school. So and I go to gymnastics with um, one of my friends from school, so I still see her.

Speaker 1: 19:54

And then one of my friends his dad actually races out there so I see him sometimes out there okay but I still see my friends yeah, so you've stayed in touch, but then you've also probably made a bunch of new friends that are in racing yeah.

Speaker 2: 20:09

Yes, ma'am, yeah, I have my best friend, tinsley Myers races the Bandoleros out there, b3, he races Legend cars and he actually got on the Crown Vic too. Okay, so I have a lot of other friends out there. Most of my friends are racing related, so yeah.

Speaker 1: 20:29

I figured as much that's. That's normal for sure, yeah, so how do you? I know, again, you're young, but how do you keep? You know you've got school. I'm sure you have to clean your room. You know you have to work on the race car. You have to, probably, you know, prepare and do different things. Race car, you have to, probably, you know, prepare and do different things to go racing or to travel whatever. How do you keep track of all that? Does your mom kind of keep you on a schedule, do you? Are you pretty good about making sure that you get everything done that you're supposed to do? How does that work when you're 11?

Speaker 2: 21:06

so I we get home from dropping my brother off in the morning, I go straight to my school work. I get done usually an hour probably, with everything for the day. Then I go out and work on the race cars and then we come in um, maybe eat lunch or something, and then we just I have to help clean up the house, do the laundry and the dishes and stuff. So you just kind of have to just do it, but it's worth it for racing. Do you like being homeschooled? Yes, ma'am, I love being homeschooled.

Speaker 1: 21:40

Yeah, you know the pandemic, you know, brought us a lot of bad and terrible things, but it also brought us some good things, and I think one of the things that it made parents more aware is that and I'm not knocking going to school at all, but I also think that when you're involved in something else, like if you're really really involved in racing or you're really involved in gymnastics or whatever it might be, or you're really involved in gymnastics or whatever it might be, that being homeschooled can be such an advantage because you have so much less stress, I think, because you're not at school for six, seven, eight hours a day and then you have to hurry and do everything at home. This way, you can still do your schoolwork and you get it done in a fourth of the time. There's not a lot of messing around or whatever.

Speaker 2: 22:33

You know, yeah that's the reason I was homeschooled is because, well one so that I could work on my race cars more and get more done, and then also because I missed a lot of days, like we would if we were go to race. I would probably, I probably missed so a lot. I missed a lot of Fridays, and and I had to leave early on them too. So right.

Speaker 1: 23:00

So this works out really well, and I know that there's a lot of good schools out there, home schools that um parents are able to take advantage of. So so you know, the homeschooling for kids like you is just, it's amazing, and I'm so glad that it makes it more of a fun lifestyle and not so stressful for you and your parents for sure. So when you're on the racetrack, do you like to start the race from the pole or the front row, or do you prefer to start near the back and work your way through?

Speaker 2: 23:33

I'm not really sure. I do both most of the time. This past weekend in the Crown Vic I had to start like 14th and it was really fun getting to work our way back up to second. So that was really fun getting to do that. Um, I'm not sure, though. I feel like the pole might be a little bit easier, but starting from the back it's a little bit more challenging because you have to pass a lot of cars and I feel like starting from the back is funner, but I don't know.

Speaker 1: 24:11

Yeah, and I've had some girls say they don't like starting from the front because they feel like they're being pushed kind of, where they'd rather start at the back and work their way back up. So I think both is good. It just depends what you're driving and how experienced you are. I think makes the difference for sure. What you're driving and how experienced you are. I think makes the difference for sure. Um, so when you go to the race track, um, you know, like on the weekends, you said you know you were having to miss a lot of school and that it's, it's a lot of, it's a lot of work, it's a lot of travel. It sounds like, um, are there a lot of other girls that you race against now that you're a little bit older and you travel?

Speaker 2: 24:51

um, so there is a few girls. There's a few girls in the go-karts um, which is really good to see, um in the legend car there's actually there's probably four girls okay um. I have two girls on my team okay so right now, um adriana hurlong and then addison hurlong just started in the legend car. She races the bandolero.

Speaker 1: 25:22

Um, so when you when you say your team is do you like? Is your dad in charge of the team? You're part of somebody else's team. Tell me about your team.

Speaker 2: 25:33

So I'm part of in the Legend car. I'm part of the IP Motorsports, so they do Legend cars, Okay. And that's it. So in the go-karts I'm on Eleanor Racing Chassis Team ERC with Chase Fitzgerald and Tara Henderson. Chase does my tires for the go-karts and then Tara is like she's a coach. She like coaches me. Okay, I actually learned a lot from her. She helped me a lot for everything, so thank you to her.

Speaker 1: 26:13

Yeah me a lot for everything. Um, so thank you to her. Yeah, and and um, do you like being part of a team? Does it make you feel like you've got other people? You?

Speaker 2: 26:19

can depend on and talk back and forth. Yeah, it's nice being on a team, because if they want to try something on a car and then they want to try another thing on a different car, they both don't have to be on your car. They can put it on someone else's and then they can put a different thing on yours and see which one works better. So that's nice, but I feel like either way is still good. Like if you're not on a team, I feel like it's better for learning how to work, work on your stuff and how to. That's how I learned how to like, do the bandos and stuff like. One time I crashed it we had to get it put back together and I had to help do that.

Speaker 1: 26:59

So right, because it was just you guys and so you didn't. You had to, you had to do it or you weren't racing. Yeah, I, I get that there's advantages to both. I think for for sure there's advantages, yeah, to both of those. So can you tell me what about sponsorship? You got a lot of cars going there. Do you have spot different sponsors for each one? Do you have any sponsors? How do you do your sponsorships?

Speaker 2: 27:25

so we have sponsors, go-karts. We have locked and loaded clutches um and all my dad does the clutch it. My dad does clutches um, locked and loaded, so he has go-kart clutches okay but the legend car.

Speaker 2: 27:45

We really have some sponsors. We got kubota florida coast equipment balanced beauty salon, original shine. Kubota Florida Coast Equipment, balance Beauty Salon, original Shine Detailing. Real Estate Brokers USA with Debbie Bradbury, mfl Industrial Services, state Farm with Teresa Connell, and we're always looking for more sponsors to help out. So, yeah, we don't really have any sponsors yet, but I just my Nana and Grandpa and my uncle.

Speaker 1: 28:18

They help out a lot with that, so that's what really helps us with the crown fit yeah, and you know you've got a lot of cars so you know it's it's hard to get sponsors for all of them and yet, um, you know, sometimes you can kind of make it work for for all the cars you drive. So you know that's, that's kind of fun and nothing better than having family, family help, for sure. So do you have a mo, your most unforgettable moment? Not necessarily a win, but something crazy that happened, or you flipped the car or anything, anything kind of uh-oh that happened so actually I do have a few.

Speaker 2: 29:01

One of them. This is actually how I met my best friend, tinsley myers. We both raced go-karts and she got hit into the wall or into like the fence and go-karts and she was like grabbing the exhaust pipe so my dad had to like help her, my dad helped her, and that's how we met. And then at Ambassador this is my really big one we were there running the track at the practice day. That's where I got started, ambassador, a little asphalt track, um. So we were doing a practice day and we were probably I was probably seven, she was maybe six at the time and then so she was on probably a purple plate, um, and I was on an open motor out there. So we were running laps and we did a lot of laps out there and she went to slow down and I didn't know she was slowing down so I kind of ramped over her, I flipped over her, I flipped into the wall. She spun out and hit the wall too, so in the tire barriers. So that was one flipped over.

Speaker 1: 30:14

That was the only time I've ever flipped, thank goodness, I don't want, I don't want you flipping around on the track. That's not what you're supposed to be doing out there yeah no, no flips.

Speaker 1: 30:27

So, um, if you have a bad day at the track, which we all do, how do you handle that? Do you cry? Do you handle it pretty well? Do you go to the truck and sit down and just what do you do, sadie, so that you know cause you don't have to be at the track every day. You know what I mean. It's like I'm done, I can't do this anymore anymore. Have you ever had one of those moments? Or you're always just want to go back and race I feel like I handle it pretty well.

Speaker 2: 30:59

I always want to go back again and try again and see if we can redeem ourselves next time. So I usually just sit in the trailer for a second and then I go back out and watch the rest of the races. So that's really, I feel like I handle it pretty well that's good, that's good when you're not when you're not racing.

Speaker 1: 31:20

What is something that you like to do?

Speaker 2: 31:23

um, so I do gymnastics. I'm 11th floor, so I do that monday and wednesday, monday and Wednesday for two hours and then well. I always go out to shop and work on my stuff, yeah, do you compete in gymnastics?

Speaker 1: 31:43

do you go to, like gymnastic meets? Yeah, level four, my youngest, two daughters that now have kids that are older than you, but they did gymnastics, and we used to travel and compete all the time too. So, yeah, I know how that is about for sure. So, um, is there anything that we haven't talked about about you or your racing, that you want to share, or anything at all that I missed about your story?

Speaker 2: 32:15

So I actually won the Crown Vic Caterpuff Race.

Speaker 1: 32:22

Oh cool.

Speaker 2: 32:22

It was a few weeks ago and it was the first time I ever sat in a car, in a Crown Vic, so I got to get in Colt's car. So, thanks to him and Bobby Mobley and Wiley, I just thank God. So God is really what I really want to glorify God and, like on my way up, I want to glorify him in all that I do Because I know without him I wouldn't have this ability to race.

Speaker 2: 33:00

He gives us all different talents and abilities, and having mine is something I love to do, so I couldn't do any of this without him, so I just like to thank him.

Speaker 1: 33:10

Oh, sadieie, I love that. I love that you're, that you're willing to share that, because a lot of kids wouldn't, wouldn't say that out loud, and I'm proud of you for being able to stand up and say I love God and he's the reason I can do what I do. So that's awesome. Anything else that you want to share before we hang up?

Speaker 2: 33:32
