The most adrenaline-charged part of the evening was watching the ultra-powerful Winged Sprint cars. Those cars accelerated so viciously out of turns that the left-front tire often lifted completely off the asphalt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieAutorama.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieAutorama.jpg 691w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieAutorama-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieAutorama-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>So when I saw a Winged Sprint on display at the April Autorama in Sandy, my earlier experience had left me with the impression that sprint drivers must be the toughest, most grizzled veterans on the track. When Utahn Natalie Waters\u2014a petite college freshman from Grantsville\u2014came around the car in a fire suit, she shattered that image permanently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She may not be the grizzled veteran I pictured. However, Natalie has lots of experience, is plenty tough, and is one of the most exciting rookie 410 Winged Sprint drivers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_5415-50-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_5415-50-1.jpg 795w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_5415-50-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_5415-50-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_5415-50-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_5415-50-1-446x297.jpg 446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><em>Progression<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalie started racing early. A big 7th-birthday surprise from her grandpa was a Quarter Midget race car. Of course she won her first race in it\u2014the first of many wins! She then advanced to Junior Stingers as a 12 year old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalie started racing Ford Focus Midgets as a 13 year old, and did so for four years. In midgets, she broke two track records, won two championships, and was recognized as \u201cBest of Class\u201d and \u201cFans\u2019 Favorite Driver.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was simultaneously running Limited Winged Sprint Cars, starting at age 14\u2014the youngest sprint driver in Utah history. Natalie broke a track record for that class, was the 3rd place overall points leader, and won Rookie of the Year, all in her first season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieMidgetCar-1-1024x748.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieMidgetCar-1-1024x748.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieMidgetCar-1-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieMidgetCar-1-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieMidgetCar-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieMidgetCar-1.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There have been some hiccups along the way. For instance, when Natalie was 14 years old, a steering component failure on her Limited Winged Sprint car put her into the wall and totaled the car. Another Sprint owner, Robert Crowther, handed over his racer, and Natalie got her only Limited Winged Sprint win of the season that night. She also ran in her midget, right after the sprint race, and won that class as well, although she may be even happier that she edged out her Uncle Sid\u2026by 0.002 seconds. Like I said, she\u2019s tough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a 16 year old, Natalie started driving her uncle Lynn Hardy\u2019s Modified stock car: a big step closer to her NASCAR career ideal. By age 17 she had moved into the Modified series full time to refine throttle control with \u201cbig horsepower\u201d engines in full-size cars. Natalie actually won the last race of her first full season in Modifieds. That happens almost never for a rookie in their first season at that level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"466\" data-id=\"1216\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Modified1169x-1024x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Modified1169x-1024x466.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Modified1169x-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Modified1169x-768x350.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Modified1169x-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Modified1169x.jpg 1169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" data-id=\"1217\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ModifiedOnTrack-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ModifiedOnTrack-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ModifiedOnTrack-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ModifiedOnTrack-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ModifiedOnTrack-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ModifiedOnTrack.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For the 2023 season, she is running 410 Winged Sprint Cars\u2014the top of the class structure for regional stock car racing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalie hopes to catch a professional team\u2019s attention and move through the different NASCAR levels\u2014ARCA, Trucks, Xfinity Series\u2014then on to the NASCAR Cup series.

Natalie described how exciting it was to watch her grandpa\u2019s cousin, \u201cUncle Jim\u201d Waters, pilot Winged Sprints around the asphalt oval. It became her dream, from an early age, to race them too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pored over nearly every inch of the #1 Wickless Scentsations sprint car with Natalie and John Waters\u2014her crew chief and grandfather. It quickly became obvious why these cars are on the top of the heap for regional stock cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the naturally aspirated, but methanol-powered, 410 cubic-inch engine outputs 860 horsepower (810 hp with restrictors). The car and driver must weigh 1650 lbs at the end of a race. Do the math: that engine is only moving about two pounds per horsepower! I\u2019ve driven some powerful cars, but nothing even <em>remotely<\/em> close to those numbers. It\u2019s no wonder that unlimited sprint cars have enough torque to pull a front tire off the ground. And no wonder that they really benefit from a couple of <em>massive<\/em> wings to hold them down. Natalie\u2019s machine also has different size tires on all four corners to optimize grip, with the right-rear being the biggest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgraphics12.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BGraphicsAd2023-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BGraphicsAd2023-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BGraphicsAd2023-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BGraphicsAd2023-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BGraphicsAd2023-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BGraphicsAd2023.jpg 1429w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgraphics12.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Advertisement<\/a><\/em><br><em><a href=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/es\/advertise-with-umn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Advertise with UMN<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximizing turning performance\u2014finding the right balance between maneuverability and stability\u2014is an ongoing challenge. What worked one day may not be quite the right balance the next. A car that is too \u201ctight\u201d is stable but hard to turn, while a \u201cloose\u201d car is happy to turn but harder to control in that turn. Much of the tradeoff is determined by pre-race setup. However, Natalie can adjust the main wing\u2014change the downforce\u2014from the cockpit. She can also adjust brake bias to help with corner entry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are straightaways on the short asphalt tracks Natalie drives\u2014typically \u00bc to \u2153 mile ovals. Still, a 410 Winged Sprint accelerates so furiously that the straightaways disappear in just a couple of seconds. So most of the lap time is in the turns, and near constant turning in a 60-lap main event is far more tiring in Sprints than in Modifieds. Accordingly, part of Natalie\u2019s 2023-season routine is hitting the gym to build upper body strength and endurance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"811\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1221\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn-811x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn-811x1024.jpg 811w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn-768x970.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn-1216x1536.jpg 1216w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn-1024x1293.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieGpaJohn.jpg 1530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1222\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000-887x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000-887x1024.jpg 887w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000-768x887.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000-1330x1536.jpg 1330w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000-1024x1182.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AutoramaNWRx2000.jpg 1732w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><em>A Family Effort<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of Natalie Waters Racing revolves around family. When she was little, Grandpa John decided Natalie and her cousins needed to be involved in something meaningful. Naturally, given his own stock car background, he started a Quarter Midget class in a local parking lot. John described how Natalie, as a six-year old, was pretty reserved and would putt around the parking lot getting beat soundly\u2014even getting lapped\u2014by her cousin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she got her own Quarter Midget, Natalie was the one lapping other drivers in her first heat race. What changed? She decided she \u201cwanted a trophy like her cousins.\u201d Since then she was nearly always on the podium and took 1st place in the majority of her Quarter Midget races. She is also the only one of her cousins that stuck with racing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidgetOnTrack2000x-1024x627.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidgetOnTrack2000x-1024x627.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidgetOnTrack2000x-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidgetOnTrack2000x-768x470.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidgetOnTrack2000x-1536x940.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidgetOnTrack2000x-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidgetOnTrack2000x.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>A big part of her early success was a feel for the car that quickly became instinctive. By age eight she was accurately critiquing the handling of her machine\u2014too loose, too tight, etc.\u2014which John describes as highly unusual for such a young driver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John continues as Natalie\u2019s crew chief while his wife Sherri\u2014Natalie\u2019s grandma\u2014helps manage non-race event scheduling, social media, and team products. Uncle Jim also keeps tabs on Natalie and has been known to give up a car part or two at the track to keep her in the race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Natalie Waters Racing is a family affair, her grandparents are clear that she is the team director. She has been making her own decisions about which classes to focus on and which races to compete in for some time now. She also began handling meetings with potential sponsors\u2014e.g. Spencer Young of the Young Automotive Group\u2014and being mentored by them since she was 14. Of course those experiences helped her learn networking and relationship building at an early age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieKIdsAtTrack-1-1024x920.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieKIdsAtTrack-1-1024x920.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieKIdsAtTrack-1-300x269.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieKIdsAtTrack-1-768x690.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieKIdsAtTrack-1-13x12.jpg 13w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieKIdsAtTrack-1.jpg 1529w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><em>Giving Back<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not surprisingly, Natalie is poised and articulate. She also understands that she is unusually blessed with opportunities to live her dreams, so she tries hard to give back to others. For instance, at my first Quarter Midget event a few weeks ago, I saw Natalie there coaching and supporting a young girl who she is letting use her own Quarter Midget racer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"898\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1224\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget-898x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget-898x1024.jpg 898w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget-263x300.jpg 263w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget-768x876.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget-1347x1536.jpg 1347w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget-11x12.jpg 11w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget-1024x1168.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieQtrMidget.jpg 1530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"893\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1225\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching-893x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching-893x1024.jpg 893w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching-768x880.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching-1340x1536.jpg 1340w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching-1024x1174.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NatalieCoaching.jpg 1485w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Natalie is also quite conscientious about crediting her sponsors\u2014including Wickless Scentsations, B-Graphics, and Disabled Sportsman, to name a few. She is always quick to acknowledge that she wouldn\u2019t be where she is without the support of others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also gives back more formally by visiting schools and promoting her <em>Race to End Bullying<\/em> organization. As Natalie became aware that her home region of Tooele County has the 2nd highest suicide rate in Utah, she wanted to do something about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, Natalie gets several invitations to meet with young people and tell them about herself. She is invited to speak at schools, from elementary to high school, present trophies at a pinewood derby event, etc. She usually brings a race car and talks about racing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/News-article-2-1-1024x527.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/News-article-2-1-1024x527.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/News-article-2-1-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/News-article-2-1-768x395.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/News-article-2-1-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/News-article-2-1.jpg 1133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>However, she is also careful to discourage bullying by teaching kids that if they see bullying they can, and should, say something. Specifically they can discourage the bully from continuing, support the victim, and appropriately involve adults. She has other stock car drivers displaying her <em>Race to End Bullying <\/em>decal and otherwise expands the program via social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalie feels that if she can help even one person, all of these efforts are worthwhile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3838-1024x579.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3838-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3838-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3838-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3838-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3838.jpg 1126w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong><em>Looking Ahead<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While 2023 is largely a learning year for Natalie, she is progressing well and has some notable successes. She often finishes near the top of the leader board during qualifying for 410 Winged Sprints. This past weekend at Meridian\u2019s Diamond Cup\u2014one of the biggest regional stock car events of the year\u2014she had the 4th-highest qualifying time on the \u00bc mile track at 11.47 seconds. First, that event attracted 23 of the best sprint drivers, and she was faster than the vast majority of them. Second, that\u2019s drag-race time. Imagine going that fast while turning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In each of her first four races this year, Natalie came close to winning the four-lap trophy dash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRacing luck,\u201d including parts breaking, being impeded by other drivers spinning out, etc., have kept her off the podium so far. Still, a podium would be <em>highly<\/em> unusual during one\u2019s rookie year and she and her team are happy with this season\u2019s progress. They have clearly found the speed. Now Natalie\u2019s focus is on building endurance to maintain that speed throughout the race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x-446x297.jpg 446w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WingedSpringOnTrack2000x.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Her rookie-year goals include a top-five main-event finish and being top-seven in overall points. She would also love to win a heat race. Of course keeping the momentum going requires a lot of resources, so Natalie Waters Racing welcomes additional sponsors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the closing of Rocky Mountain Raceways, Utah no longer has an asphalt oval. So you can see Natalie race a couple of times a month at tracks in Twin Falls and Meridian, ID. She will likely participate in at least one event in Dacono, CO as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalie also has goals outside of racing. She is currently majoring in Veterinary Science at Utah State University. Her minor is Marketing, and of course she already has considerable marketing experience as director of a race team. After graduating, Natalie hopes to attend Veterinary school in North Carolina\u2014closer to the heart of NASCAR!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I\u2019m pretty sure that when I ask my young, female, college-freshmen students to tell me about themselves this fall, none will say they are pursuing a NASCAR driving career\u2026or will they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00a9 2023, R Bairett<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NatalieWatersGKRacing\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NWR2000x-1024x522.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NWR2000x-1024x522.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NWR2000x-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NWR2000x-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NWR2000x-1536x783.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NWR2000x-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NWR2000x.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Utahn Natalie Waters is one of the most exciting young 410 Winged Sprint car rookie drivers to follow in regional stock car racing. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3301,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[184,180,179,176,183,178,181,182,47,109,40,177],"class_list":["post-1208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-bgraphics","tag-magic-valley-speedway","tag-meridian-speedway","tag-natalie-waters-racing","tag-race-to-end-bullying","tag-regional-stock-car-racing","tag-rocky-mountain-raceway","tag-sprint-cars","tag-utah-automotive-events","tag-utah-motorsports-events","tag-utah-racing","tag-winged-sprint-cars"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NatAttack!
