Nationwide — Foxxtecca is making history with professional motorcycle drag racer Dystany Spurlock, who became only the second Black woman in history to compete in the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class when she took the track at the Virginia NHRA Nationals on June 20 at Virginia Motorsports Park.
Spurlock joins trailblazer Peggy Llewellyn in one of motorsports’ most exclusive and underrepresented clubs, women of color competing at the sport’s highest level.
“Since 2021, I’ve been working behind the scenes with Dynasty Spurlock to help her reach the next level in her career,” said Chris Harris, co-founder of Foxxtecca, a media and mobility company focused on culture and equity. “In my eyes, she checks every box. Unfortunately, many of the companies we approached weren’t willing to provide the financial backing needed to take that next step, so my partner and I, Kellie Crawford, made the decision to invest in her ourselves.
“We’re not shying away from the DEI conversation; we’re embracing it fully as we continue to break barriers. Foxxtecca may be a small company with limited resources, but we believe in Dystany and understand the impact of her visibility at this level. Our hope is that this moment inspires larger companies to recognize her talent and come alongside her for a full-time campaign in 2026.”
Spurlock debuted as part of Arana Racing, a respected father-son team led by Hector Arana Sr. and Hector Arana Jr., both champions and innovators in motorcycle drag racing. The partnership marks a powerful cultural milestone, bringing together Black and Hispanic excellence on one of drag racing’s biggest stages.
“This moment has been years in the making,” Spurlock said. “I’ve faced every kind of roadblock imaginable, but I’ve never stopped chasing this dream. I’m proud to represent my community, and I’m beyond thankful to Foxxtecca for believing in me when so many didn’t. This isn’t just about me racing, it’s about showing the next generation what’s possible.”
The Virginia NHRA Nationals takes place June 20–22 in North Dinwiddie, Va., at Virginia Motorsports Park. Spurlock’s debut is expected to draw fans, supporters, and media eager to witness a pivotal moment for motorsports, culture, and representation.
