"Meet The Girls: April Wilson"



We introduce April Wilson for this "Meet The Girls" feature!

April Wilson is 22 years old. April’s racing career started back in early 2005. She told her father she wanted to try out his 360 sprint car, so she jumped in and has been hooked ever since. Her parents had purchased a 360 sprint car that Christmas not far from her 15th birthday. April turned 15 and she was gone 360 racing full time from March until October, racing almost every weekend. April hauls from Joyceville, Ontario, Canada to various tracks in Canada, central New York and a few times a year in Pennsylvania. April currently runs a 2010 Triple X 360ci sprint car full time and 410ci a few times a year, bouncing from group to group such as Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS), Empire Super Sprints (ESS), Patriot Sprint Tour (PST) and a few World of Outlaw shows a year (WoO). April also won a vintage modified feature backing 2012 at Brighton Speedway, not knowing to even how to start the car, she jumped in, started at the back of the heat race and won it, started on the pole of the feature and won that. April’s best finish in her sprint car career is a 2nd in a wingless show back in 2011. April’s goals for this year are to race as much as she can, have fun and get some wins. April’s goals for her future in racing are to run some more WoO shows, as April wants to be on the WoO tour by the time she is 25.
