BEGINNER BANDITS: ANGELA DONAHUE WINS DESPITE STEERING WHEEL ISSUE
Winning your first race is always memorable, but winning after having your steering wheel fall off during the race is something that doesn’t happen often.
There have been many new faces in the Beginner Bandits division this season.
Beginner Bandits racer Angela Donahue has been trying to get her car into victory lane some time before the end of the Winter Heat season ended. Saturday she was well on her way to that goal when her steering wheel fell off during the event.
“My steering wheel popped off in the middle of the race and that was a little freaky,” said Donahue. “I had to stop and get it back on real fast. I got passed by a couple people, but I passed them back.”
Donahue was able to take her first checkered flag, and was excited after the event, especially due to the trouble she had on the track.
“It was really fun,” said Donahue. “It is awesome.”
On Sunday, Donahue crossed the finish line fourth as Tanner Rumberg was declared the winner of the Beginner Bandits race.
