Samantha Everhart | A New Chapter in Bandolero Racing
Every racer has a first season.
For 13-year-old Samantha Everhart, that season is happening right now.
As a rookie Bandolero driver, Samantha is learning something new every time she climbs behind the wheel. Like every first-year racer, each lap is another opportunity to build confidence, gain experience, and grow as a competitor.
One advantage Samantha has is learning from someone who knows exactly what it takes to succeed.
She's being mentored by fellow Driver Spotlight feature Stuart Walsh, whose guidance has helped her navigate the early stages of her racing journey. From race-day preparation to developing racecraft, Samantha is gaining valuable experience both on and off the track.
