Alex Hill

Alex  Hill is a graduate of California State University and is the first Indigenous woman to compete in the American Sprint Car Series tour. She is also the fourth woman in the 26-year history of the ASCS to complete the tour. She has won several races and has competed among some of the best in the sport but she had some very difficult crashes in her 2018 season, resulting in some hesitant and shaky performances in 2019. While she seemed to be up against a lot of car troubles in 2019, it was her confidence that was her biggest challenge. She showed well at a couple races, specifically at the Summer Nationals at Ohsweken, where she passed 8 cars to take second in her heat race. For that race she garnered the Hard Charger award, but she failed to capture a checkered flag in a feature race in 2019. According to Alex, she “got her lady balls back” in 2019 after shaking down her car and herself for the whole season. She didn’t manage a win on the tour in 2021 but she did place in the top five a couple of times in feature races, won a few heats and ended the season in the top 10 of the ASCS. But the 2021 season also presented a lot of problems for her after a series of tough crashes that resulted in extreme panic and anxiety attacks. She posted on her social media that she had to pull out of a race due to a panic attack and received much support from the racing community. After undergoing regular therapy, Alex decided that she would face her fear and race one time in 2022 at the Winter Nationals at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas. It was a tense start and it took Alex a lot of strength to face her fear and get her car on the track. She didn’t manage to get into a feature race, but she did post the quick time in her qualifying group on the second night of the event. To Alex, just getting back out there was a triumph. And it’s also a triumph for her that she conquered her fear and actually raced again. After facing her fears in Season 3, Alex returns to Ohsweken Speedway for the first time in years, ready to take on one of her greatest challenges yet, a slick track. In Season 4, we’ll find out if Alex can conquer the Ohsweken Speedway track, or if her nerves will once again get the better of her.
