We are going to do something a little different and let Morgan
tell you about herself! In light of the recent events within the group, we can’t
have a better featured driver right now. Morgan had to overcome a serious
injury a few years ago, and I hope it will show Alysha anything is possible!
So, here is Morgan Turpen!
My name is Morgan Turpen. I am 20 years old from Cordova,
Tennessee. I started racing go-karts in 2003 when I was ten years old. I won 2
championships and had 20+ wins. In 2008, I started racing 305 wingless sprints.
I had one win and 10 top 5's. I only did that for a year and moved on up to
360's in 2009.
Unfortunately, that didn't last long when I had a bad wreck and
busted the main carotid artery in my neck, which required a stent. In 2010, I
started racing for Terry Gray Racing. I was national rookie of the year,
midsouth rookie of the year, southern rookie of the year, and runner up in
points on the USCS circuit.
In 2011, I won 2 USCS races. Made history with Erin Crocker by
being the first ever females to finish 1-2 in a sprint car race. I also
finished in the runner up spot in points again. In 2012, I won another race
with USCS and had 25 top 5 finishes.
At the beginning of 2013, I was out of a ride, and then had
Something Inked Motorsports help out in order to get me a part time ride with
TGR.
I race against names Terry Gray and Tim Crawley every weekend;
so I am racing with the best in the business. Over the winter, I was ranked top
female sprint car driver in America.
I am a full time student at the University of Memphis while
working at Outback Steakhouse and racing most weekends.
