Starting at age eight in Junior Dragsters, she has progressed through the ranks to become a competitive force in Top Dragster competition.
EARLY YEARS
Growing up in Paso Robles, California, Macie was introduced to drag racing by her father Doug Gordon, a three-time NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car champion.

The sisters grew up immersed in motorsports culture, traveling to racetracks with their family and crewing on their father’s Top Alcohol Funny Car. This early exposure to the technical and competitive sides of drag racing provided them with a foundation that most racers spend years trying to develop.
