Jessica Mendenhall drives the #48 Young Guns Class car.  Her home track is East Lincoln Speedway but she can also be found racing at Thunder Valley Speedway.  She lives in Jonesville, NC.

Team members helping Jessica are:  Dad, Mom, Sis, Neil Schabo.  M and M Motorsports is the car owner.

Jessica started racing in 2005 in the Young Guns class at Antioch Speedway because she got tired of other people driving their cars.  Her first win was in that same year.  Career highlights include Rookie Year finishing 3rd in the Points and Young Guns Points Leader at Thunder Valley Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Jessica is being a girl and competing in a male dominated sport.  Her most exciting racing moment was her first win.  She's most proud of being able to race with her little sister.

Jessica's racing hero is her younger sister.

Of racing, Jessica says, "Be careful about getting into racing.  It is hard to get it out of your blood!".
