10TH RALLY EDITION: OCTOBER 8 – 18, 2025

#132

Wild Grace

We teamed up for the first time in the 2024 Rebelle Rally, and despite having minimal time together before the start line, we quickly found our rhythm and had an incredible run. It was one of those partnerships that just clicked. We quickly learned each other’s strengths and leaned in. We also bonded over Nerd Clusters and motherhood. Two essentials that kept us grounded, fueled, and laughing through the long days. This year, we’re back and even more excited to take on the rally together. We’re proud to be representing Ford Performance and can’t wait to build on the foundation we laid last year. The Rebelle is more than just a competition, it’s a chance for us to grow as a team, push ourselves, and soak up the adventure that comes with it.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

I competed in the Rebelle the first two years in the 4x4 class (2016, 2017), and the first event I was only 18 years old. I came back in 2023 after 7 years with team Ford in the all-electric Mach- E Rally and now I’ll be coming back again in a Ford Ranger Raptor for the 10 the anniversary. I’ve learned the Rebelle is not only a competition to be a part of, but it has also become my get away and a confidence booster to remind myself what us women are capable of doing.

Who, or what, inspires you most?

My whole family inspires me. I've grown up around mechanics, fabricators, cops, firemen, school teachers, and that’s all so encouraging because it taught me that you can do and bewhatever you want in this life.

What are your competition objectives and why?

My competition objective is to come back even stronger than last year. I had the one and only Sedona Blinson as my navigator and we instantly connected. There wasn’t a morning I didn’t wake up not feeling confident for a competition day. We fell into our groove, learned each other’s limits and came back positive with the choices we made.

What makes you tick, outside of work?

Passions outside of work are spending time with family, going wheeling on the weekends, working on my husband’s car projects (soooo many projects), and lots of crafts with my daughter.

What is your background in motorsports, and how does that shape how you're approaching the Rebelle?

My background in motorsports comes from watching my family racing almost every weekend and working in the family fabrication shop. I always had fun attending the races or getting my hands dirty in the shop but then my dad decided it was time for me to get behind the wheel. My time and experience have really shaped how I approach the Rebelle because I’m coming into the event feeling confident in what I’m doing.

What kind of cool experiences do you have outside of the Rebelle?

For the past 3 years I have proudly been a Ford Performance Athlete and as of 2025 I have joined the RTR Vehicles team to continue growing as a racer, while competing with a team that shares the same passion for innovation and performance. Stepping into this chapter has brought so many new experiences not only with a new team but learning more about stock vehicles all while racing them.

Which terrain is your favorite part of the course and why?

The Johnson Valley terrain is my favorite and will always have a special place in my heart since I have been competing in an off-road race called King of the Hammers since I was 18 years old.

What is the most challenging part of the Rally for you?

The most challenging part of the Rally for me is the first night in camp when we’ve finally turned our phones off and disconnect from the outside world. I never want to make that last phone call or send that last goodbye text!

How has the rally changed you and what made you want to come back?

The believe the rally has truly taught me to take a step back and look at life from a whole new perspective. I have more patience and drive to solve problems instead of stewing over something and becoming frustrated.

Do you have any memorable moments with cars?

I could go on for hours about memorable moments with different cars, but if I had to choose one it would be the little shop truck my parents had when I was growing up, we called it the Bat Mobile! It was a 1993 Ford Ranger; two door and it was a manual. We used it for everythingfrom learning how to drive a stick, run parts around town and haul iron/shop supplies. But the best part about this Ranger was piling into with my dad, mom, brother and myself to pick up our Christmas tree every year until we were finally all too big to fit side by side!

Sedona Blinson

Navigator

I’m a glass-half-full kind of gal who believes joy is one of the best tools in the kit. I show up with grit, curiosity, a thoughtful plan (most of the time), and the kind of heart that’s always up for a laugh, or a good cry when needed.

What is your occupation and what does that mean to you?

I’m a marketing creative by day and a small business builder by... well, every other minute. I blend storytelling, strategy, and scrappy optimism to build things that matter, from off-road adventures to a pet poop scooping business, I launched. My work means showing my kids what it looks like to bet on yourself, trust God, and keep your hands (and heart) in the game.

"Every day is a chance to be better than we were the day before." – Ted Lasso

Fun Fact:

I’ll sing along to any song—whether I know the lyrics or not. Musical side note, I firmly believe my life deserves a John Williams original score.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

Because the version of me that shows up on the Rebelle course is focused, fearless, and fully alive. And every year, I get better at carrying that version home with me. Also… it’s the 10th year. No way I’m missing it!

Who, or what, inspires you most?

My whole family. My kids remind me to be brave, stay curious, and never take life too seriously—and Doug shows up with so much heart and authenticity as a partner and parent. I’m also a big fan of Ilona Maher. Her bold “shoot your shot” and love-yourself energy? I’m here for all of it.

Top three favorite podcasts / books / shows

• Ted Lasso – It feels like a hug and a pep talk all in one.
• The Chosen – Keeps me grounded and focused on what matters.
• A Man Called Ove – Hilarious, heartbreaking, and totally heartwarming.

Greatest adventure to date?

My greatest adventure has been becoming the woman I am, resilient, resourceful, and always evolving. From becoming a mom, building businesses with my husband to joining the Ford Performance team, each chapter pushes me to grow boldly and live fully.

100% Rebelle, baby! :)

What are your competition objectives and why?

I want to compete fiercely and mindfully. For me, so much of success in the Rebelle comes down to in-car teamwork, communication, trust, and knowing when to lead and when to listen. I’m so excited to be in that rhythm with Bailey. She’s a total powerhouse behind the wheel, and we balance each other in a way that brings out our best. I know we’ll lift each other up, lock into our roles, and push for premium results.

What makes you tick, outside of work?

I light up when I’m outside, off-roading, watching desert sunsets, or camping with my family. At home, I’m all about LEGO nights, karaoke chaos, backyard baseball, and anything that makes us laugh until our faces hurt. I also love a good book, family Bible study, and goofing off with our dogs.

What is your background in motorsports, and how does that shape how you're approaching the Rebelle?

The Rebelle was my real entry point. Before my first rally, I was not wellversed in “motorsports”, but I followed a few U. S. teams in the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles and loved watching King of the Hammers. Since then, I've done ride-alongs in short course trucks and competed in Rally Jameel. I’m still learning, still growing, and loving every unexpected detour along the way.

Which terrain is your favorite part of the course and why?

This is a tough one! I’ve got a healthy respect for dune. They’re humbling in the best way. But my favorite spot has to be Twin Springs Ranch. It’s gorgeous, wild, and always feels a little magical when we’re there. My favorite area to navigate is Johnson Valley the terrain is rough, but the maps come to life for me there.

What is the most challenging part of the Rally for you?

Bouncing back from a rough moment. The reset takes more mental strength than a tire change, but I’ve learned that mistakes aren’t the problem. It’s how fast you recover that counts.

How has the rally changed you and what made you want to come back?

The Reblle has taught me how to lead without a map. I come back because I want to keep sharpening my skills, not just in navigation or driving, but in the way I show up for myself and others. It’s made me more present, more patient, and better at finding calm in the chaos. It’s also made me a stronger teammate, in the truck, at work, and at home.

Do you have any memorable moments with cars?

So many of my favorite memories are around working on cars. My parents taught me the basics, and years later, my husband Doug and I rebuilt a Baja Bug, Hilda, together. It was quirky, challenging, and a total family project, kids included. I can definitely see more driveway builds in our future.

2024 Ford Ranger Raptor
We are back with the Ford Ranger Raptor. The ideal third teammate. It’s nimble, powerful, and ready for anything the Rebelle throws at us. From dunes to rock gardens, this truck handles it all with confidence and comfort. It is incredibly capable right off the lot. Plus, it just looks awesome, aggressive, and built to move. We’re stocked to bring it back to the Rebelle and show what it can do.
