About Tessa
Tessa is 13 years old and finished her 7th-grade year at Timberlake Jr. High School. Tessa started her circle track racing career at Stateline Speedway in the Bandolero class at the age of 9. She placed 3rd in season points in 2020, 5th in 2021, and 4th in 2022. This year she is physically too tall to fit into her Bandolero and has elected to take on an Early Stock. She is trading out her trademark pink camo for Chevy Racing Orange. This parallels her car to the “General Lee" based on one of her favorite movies, The Dukes of Hazard. In true Tessa style, she named her new ride “The Girl Lee" and incorporated patriotic touches. She is the youngest to have ever raced in the class at Stateline Speedway starting the year at 12 years old. Tessa is eager to learn from the many years of experience with which she will be racing.
