Mackena Bell, Race Car Driver

Published April 21, 2011 at 5:00 AM PDT

Mackena Bell likes to drive fast.  Like... 200 mph fast.  The Carson City native started racing go-karts when she was 12, then graduated to NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program.  The former prom queen talks about life in the fast lane (where she's often the only female), and balancing school with the rigors of competitive racing.
