Shannon Brady-Mansch

My name is Shannon Brady-Mansch, I have been racing a number of years, I started out driving a mini stock when I was 18 years old at All American Speedway in Roseville, California. After 3 years of winning many races and setting new track records, I felt the need for greater speed! I had a Pro-four late model race car built, joined a touring division and raced throughout the  Western States, had lots of fun and success, and most honestly can say I enjoyed those days of my racing career the most, but all good things come to an end, the division fell apart! Next I decided to race a Grand American Modified.

So in 1998 I raced a full season at All American Speedway and finished 3rd in the points standings. For the 1999 season I choose to race a larger track, being the 1/2 mile paved oval at Altamont Raceway Park, there I improved to a 2nd place finish in the points, and received the Sports Person of the Year Award. Was also featured in the movie " Fast Women " a documentary produced by Rachel Belofsky, the movie also featured other great women racers such as Lynn St. James, Shirley Muldowney, Janet Guthrie and many others.

Last year 2002 was a down year for me; I became a spectator while waiting for my new Pro-Stock late model to be built. Now 2003, back on the 1/4 mile track at All American Speedway racing in the Pro-Stock division along with my husband, Michael Mansch. I have had 6 starts,  3 wins, with all finishes in the top 5. Later this year I plan on attending end of the  year open comp shows. My next goal is to race Winston West, South West tour or the Craftsman Truck series, but that takes lots of money and sponsors which I am looking for now.

I live in Roseville, California, I am 34 years old and married with no children. I work as a Workers' Compensation Claims Adjuster for a large third party administrator.  My interests away from racing are my animals, water sports and traveling.
