Sheena Monk is a trailblazing American motorsports racer who has risen from family-inspired beginnings to professional success in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, securing her first career IMSA podium in 2024.

EARLY YEARS

Growing up in a racing family, Sheena was heavily influenced by her father’s professional Moto-racing career. She shared dirt bikes and off-road go-karts with her brother, and it was during one of their recreational track days that she was scouted for her racing poise despite minimal formal racing experience[2]. This early exposure to motorsports laid the foundation for her future racing career.

EARLY SUCCESS

At age 28, Sheena began her professional journey through a fast-track racing license course at Lamborghini. Her racing debut came in the 2017 North American Lamborghini Super Trofeo Series in Imola, Italy, where she impressively finished 3rd in class[2]. In 2018, she demonstrated her potential by securing her first class win at Virginia International Raceway in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo LB Cup, though the season was marred by a serious crash at Laguna Seca that left her with nine fractures[1][4]. Undeterred, she returned to racing in 2019, finishing fourth in the championship with five podium finishes and competing in the World Final at Jerez.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

  • 2024: Secured her first career IMSA podium by finishing third at Road America in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship[1].
  • 2024: Achieved second-best finish of the season with fourth place at Long Beach Grand Prix in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship[1].
  • 2023: Finished fourth in her debut season at the 24 Hours of Daytona in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship[1].
  • 2020: Won in the GT4-based GS class of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge at Road America[1].
  • 2018: Finished fourth in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America – LB Cup series while driving for Wayne Taylor Racing[3].

REPUTATION

Sheena has established herself as a formidable and resilient figure in motorsports, known for her determination to overcome obstacles—including returning from a serious injury in 2018 to compete at high levels[5]. Her transition from Lamborghini Super Trofeo to the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and ultimately to the more prestigious IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship showcases her growing skill and reputation in the racing community. As part of an all-female lineup with Katherine Legge in 2023, she has helped break barriers in this male-dominated sport[4].

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

For the 2025 season, Sheena will join Triarsi Competizione to drive the No. 021 Ferrari 296 GT3 in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, partnering with Stevan McAleer[2][3]. She aims to leverage the Ferrari 296 GT3’s capabilities and Triarsi Competizione’s professionalism to achieve strong results in the upcoming season. Beyond driving, she hopes to inspire younger generations to pursue careers in motorsport and related STEM fields[5].
