GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ANGELLE SAMPEY is breaking new ground again in 2025, becoming one of the first drivers to pilot an Alcohol Fuel Dragster with a closed canopy cockpit. The three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle champion continues her methodical transition from bikes to dragsters through Antron Brown’s AB Motorsports Accelerate program, with her ultimate goal being Top Fuel competition.
  • The 54-year-old proved she’s ready for bigger things in 2024, finishing seventh in Top Alcohol Dragster standings while making the final round at the prestigious U.S. Nationals and claiming victory at Reading. That Reading win, where she doubled up with teammate Brown’s success, stands as one of her career highlights as she builds momentum in four-wheeled competition.
  • SAMPEY returns with continued sponsorship from Hangsterfer’s Metalworking Lubricants, giving her the stability to focus on mastering the dragster transition. The closed canopy technology, pioneered in Top Fuel back in 2012, makes its Top Alcohol debut this season with enhanced safety features that could benefit all drivers moving forward.

UPCOMING:

  • NHRA Gatornationals – March 6, Gainesville, FL (First qualifying)
