Trail Trust/FOX Factory asked myself, being an offroad racecar driver to be their driver, and Ashleigh, one of FOX Factory shocks test engineers to be the navigator. We met for the first time in April 2024 at the Rebelle U training in Ocotillo Wells where we jumped right in and went to work learning how to navigate with nothing more than a paper map, compass, plotting tools, and a calculator! It felt as if we were thrown into the wolves a bit, but it forced us to get to know each other quickly and figure out how to be the best teammates we could be for one another. We decided to take another Rebelle U course in August and that created a great bond between us after we worked day/night over 4 days to take our skills to the next level. We walked away with the confidence we needed to pull up to the starting line of the Rebelle Rally as Team Trail Trust/FOX to give it our all and cross all 8 daily finish lines and become Rebelles for life!!

I have 25 pairs on Vans shoes and I can touch my tongue to my nose! Hahaha!! On a more serious note - I have been racing for 19 years now! My career began on ATVs where I earned 5 championships before transitioning to UTVs when Polaris RZR signed my husband, Wayne Matlock, and I to compete on their factory team 9 years ago. I have multiple class wins/podium finishes at the Baja 1000, Baja 500, San Felipe 250, Vegas to Reno, NORRA 1000, Mint 400, UTV World Championship, Sonora Rally, & more. Fun fact - my husband and I have been married for 20 years now and we compete against one another at all of the races and still love each other no matter who crosses the finish line first!!
I have wanted to compete in the Rebelle Rally for some time now! Mostly to take what I already do with offroad racing and add a twist to it with the challenges of learning to slow my speed down and navigate the course without any electronic devices. I was asked by my sponsor, FOX, to represent them and Trail Trust by driving in the rally this year and I'm beyond stoked to do so!!
Knowing that I inspire others to get out there and live out their dreams fuels my drive beyond measure to push myself to the limits and never give up. I love being a mentor to the youth and showing them what is possible!
In 2021, I was the first American female to represent Polaris RZR in the Dakar Rally. From many months of intense training prior to the rally, an emergency landing in Iceland along the way to Saudi Arabia, & 5K miles of racing over 12 days - the Dakar Rally has been my greatest adventure to date. Although, I have a feeling that the Rebelle Rally may supersede it! Check back with me in a few weeks!! :D
