Fridays Females In Racing-Metzler Morse

 Metzeler Morse
I have had the best time watching this young lady race and grow up over the last 3 years.  She is an amazing young lady with a huge heart for all her fellow racers and the occasional little girl that comes by and tugs on her sleeve to play!  Metzeler is 13 and started out on a Dirt Bike at a very young age I believe I saw a picture of metz at like the age one 2 sitting on her dirt bike. 
Now she drives a Jr. Dragster, when her mom & dad took over the track 3 years ago is when Metz started driving a Jr.  She is a fierce competitor.  She races in the Messenger Freight super series.


Her favorite moment in her race history is when she won the Wally. I also asked Metz what her dream car would be she told me she hopes that one day she will have Diamond Jims Jet car.
Cheers Veronica
