Track Queen - Sammie Jackson

Written by Bex Russ Thursday, 20 October 2016 19:55

Home grown from Indianapolis, our newest ShockerRacingGirl, Sammie Jackson spent her childhood around the track. Her mom worked for the United States Auto Club in Indy so she was able to attend events like the Indy 500, and Brickyard. She was also able to attend LS Fest in Bowling Green, KY which has become her favorite event of the year. Being around tracks has always been a passion of hers. Sammie is inspired by her favorite female model, Bear Dellinger, and has recently started taking modeling seriously. ShockerRacing is happy to have her on our team as she begins to take her modeling to the next level. Sammie will also be taking over our Facebook.com/ShockerRacing page on October 22, 2016 as she goes Live from the Import Alliance Fall Meet at Beech Bend Raceway Park.

This track queen has close friends and family with sweet rides and they all got in on the action for Sammie's feature. Family friend and photographer, Andrew Callis from Andrew Callis Photography and Videography collaborated with Sammie for this shoot. They spent two days and used three different cars to bring Shocker Racing some truly unique shots. They even worked in the rain and used fog machines and lighting for some cool effects.

Her uncle brought along his beautiful C4 Corvette, and a family friend brought out their fantastic white Nissan 350z. Along with those two rides, they used her husbands sweet silver Nissan 350z to be featured with Sammie. She tells us she her current ride is a 2006 Honda Pilot 4wd that is fully loaded. When asked what mods she would choose if ShockerRacing was going to pay for any mod to her car, Sammie simply answered, "wheels and exhaust."

"When I was 4 years old, I started playing with cars and collecting them. I had hundred of Matchbox cars, and my mom would always let me pick out a new one when we went grocery shopping." Sammie tells us. Obviously, her car obsession continued into her adulthood!

We enjoyed our interview with Sammie, she is a fabulous person to get to know. Please enjoy the rest of the interview:
