DYSTANY SPURLOCK Makes History as Second Black Woman in NHRA Pro Stock Class

• DYSTANY SPURLOCK just rewrote the history books at Virginia NHRA Nationals, becoming only the second Black woman ever to compete in the ultra-exclusive Pro Stock Motorcycle class. She joins the legendary Peggy Llewellyn in one of motorsports’ most underrepresented circles, and honestly, it’s about damn time we had more representation at this level.
• Here’s what makes this even better: when corporate sponsors kept passing on SPURLOCK despite her obvious talent, Foxxtecca co-founders Chris Harris and Kellie Crawford said “fine, we’ll do it ourselves” and backed her dream. They’re not just talking about diversity – they’re writing the checks to make it happen, which is exactly the kind of put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is action we need to see more of.
• SPURLOCK teamed up with the powerhouse Arana Racing squad (Hector Sr. and Jr.), creating this beautiful collision of Black and Hispanic excellence on drag racing’s biggest stage. After years of roadblocks that would’ve stopped most people, she’s finally getting her shot to show what we’ve been missing. This isn’t just about one rider – it’s about proving to the next generation that these dreams are actually achievable.
