WoMo racing //
Sarah Harrington is a motorsport racer who grew up immersed in racing culture as the daughter of an automotive mechanic with a passion for grassroots racing and rally competitions.
EARLY YEARS
Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, Sarah was introduced to motorsports from infancy through her father Mark’s work restoring vintage cars and amateur rally racing. By age five, she had memorized the specs of her father’s 1972 Ford Escort rally car, and at eight, she traded ballet lessons for karting. The rugged, competitive Denver racing scene shaped her no-nonsense approach to the sport, growing up with “grease under her nails” rather than trophies or fancy gear.
EARLY SUCCESS
Sarah began competing in karting at tracks like Grand Junction Motor Speedway, where she was outpacing older competitors by age 10. Her first kart, a hand-me-down from a family friend, became what she called her “weekend office” as she developed her racing skills in Colorado’s competitive environment.
