TINA PIERCE & Daughter KENZIE Show Family Power at Motion Raceworks Mega Week

September 16, 2025

• TINA PIERCE has upgraded her red ’08 Chevy Colorado with a revolutionary Compressed Air Supercharging system, ditching her previous twin-turbo LS setup for consistency that has her running 4.40s at 160 mph in Top Sportsman. After nine months of research with system owner Mark Griffin, PIERCE and husband David made the switch because the CAS eliminates weather variables – you’re literally putting your own atmosphere in the engine, making track conditions the only variable to manage.
• During Motion Raceworks Mega Week, PIERCE’s twin-turbo Nova suffered mechanical failures that took her from fastest qualifier to a 20-second desperation run, but the real story was watching 16-year-old daughter KENZIE compete in her blue ’04 Colorado. Running 8.75s in Tailgate class with her own single-system CAS setup, KENZIE capped the week by winning a heads-up shootout on the final day in Tulsa – a moment that left TINA beaming with pride.
• The mother-daughter racing dynamic brings a fresh perspective to PIERCE’s long career that started in 2009 across Street Outlaws, no-prep, and radial formats. While TINA admits they don’t always see eye-to-eye on racing strategy (echoing their previous softball coaching relationship), KENZIE’s natural tree skills and race instincts proved themselves when it mattered most, showing the next generation of PIERCE racers is ready to carry the family legacy forward.
