Chaz is a second year (second grader) at Montessori Children’s House of Lansing, MI. She enjoys hanging out with her friends from school even if they don’t understand her snowmobile racing. She listens to Slipknot, Hinder and Clutch, the louder the better. Chaz is new to the sport; she's raced grass drags and just this past fall raced in the Inaugural Drag-Cross Series taking first place in her first race in the Freestyle 300 - 380 class, ultimately winning the series championship.

Chaz was given her nickname by Syco Racing, who said she's like a pit bull who just won't let go of an idea once she gets it in her head. Chaz says, “I'm gonna be the first girl to do a double back flip on a sled”. Chaz doesn't back down from anything, with her determination she just may be the first girl to do the double back flip. LOOK OUT JIMMY BLAZE!

Chaz is currently sponsored by Stud Boy, Syco Racing, Kat‚s Eye Jewelry, and Zap! Signs.

Chaz will be racing with MSXRA this winter, in the Freestyle 300 class. She's been exercising, trying to get into shape for racing. Chaz is excited and can’t wait to beat all the boys.
