Stacie grew up in Loveland Colorado, an hour north of Denver. Her dad had a 69 step side C10 with a Muncie 4-speed and he taught her to drive in the truck. Stacie didn’t grow up around racing but when she turned 19, she got the bug and started bracket racing at Bandimere Speedway. As her car got faster she moved to heads up racing, and in 2005 won an NHRA Wally. She sold real estate and owned her own property management company when she met Jessie in 2014.
