8 year old Girl Races 60 mph in pink and black car

A great story about an 8 year old girl who races a 30 horsepower racecar going up to 60 mph.
The most positive aspect is the girl, Macy Causey, loves to race and it is her passion and her dedication - her parents support her and encourage her.  Not an inexpensive hobby for sure.  But hobby is probably too casual a characterization for her "drive."   

Best part  - her idols.  Asked about Danica Patrick, she says, "who"? Her grandmother (the first female Nascar winner) and motorcyclist Larry Bird (famous for world record of 5.793 seconds in 1/4 mile - you try it!) are her bona fide idols.  Love this kid!

I am not a fan of car racing - but I may need to evolve.
