Nicole Lyons is doing big things in the NHRA circuit and for black women globally. By winning, challenging stereotypes and by being a banger that is so easy on the eyes… Nicole has nowhere to go but the top.
BOSSIP: How did a pretty girl like yourself get into racing cars??
Nicole: When I was little. You can see how long we have been in racing. My father was a racecar driver and engine builder. He was my inspiration and my best friend. We lost him suddenly in 2005; he was also a pioneer of racing and he would be so proud we never gave up.
BOSSIP: How are you guys making it work being a black motor sport team and being a black woman in a white male sport?
Nicole: We are looking for sponsors NOW and we have made history already and will continue as I am the 1st black woman to race now and compete in NHRA top sportsman, competition eliminator, pro stock. I will also be the first to race NHRA pro mod once we find funding then once I smash all the competition in that… it’s on to Nascar for 2012.
BOSSIP: You know a lot about the racing aspect, but what about the cars?
Nicole: Many people don’t know I have built award winning engines and own and operate a muscle car restoration shop “Cole Muscle Cars.” History is being made and the world should know!
BOSSIP: Who all should get involved in your sponsorship and your movement?
Nicole: The car can be sponsored by record labels to cosmetics… it’s time to join the movement!
BOSSIP: Are you married?
Nicole: Yes, but no kids…
BOSSIP: Is he black?
Nicole: Yes…
BOSSIP: Cool, we will most definitely get this up for you sweet heart! Great talking to you too!
Nicole: Likewise… You guys are funny!
