BRISTOL, Tenn. – Holmes County will be represented when the Bristol Dirt Nationals kick off next week, with Westville resident Sydney Kitchen slated to be the event’s only female stockcar driver. In addition to stock cars, the race will feature several different classes and offer an overall combined purse of more than $400,000.
22-year-old Kitchen was one of 20 drivers selected out of a lottery of more than 700 hopefuls from all over the U.S. after her husband, Braeden Kitchen, entered her in the race.
Her stepdad, Craig Cole, bought a race car when she was 13, and she raced for the first time at Southern Raceway in Milton when she was 14.
