A demolition derby victory with a story behind it.
At the 2026 Ashtabula County Fair in Jefferson, Ohio, Lisa climbed behind the wheel of her hand-painted rainbow #18, a 1975 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle, and took on the DerbyDog demolition derby.
Before the action, Lisa shared what the car and racing mean to her. She talked about taking some serious hits and being pinned between cars, unsure at times whether she would be able to get back out.
But the #18 kept moving.
As the derby action unfolds, Lisa's voice continues over the footage, giving you her perspective while watching her colorful Chevelle battle through the competition.
What makes this story especially meaningful is the reason she got back into demolition derby racing: her daughter.
As her daughter got older and developed an interest in racing, Lisa returned to the sport. For Lisa, it's about more than competition. It's about showing the next generation that girls can do whatever they set their minds to.
Lisa also shared that she has taken first place in the same class two years in a row.
And when asked what's next, her answer says it all: getting her daughter into a car and going.
This 41-second feature captures much more than a demolition derby heat. It captures a mother, a daughter, a family tradition in the making, a hand-painted race car, and a driver who continues to prove herself in the arena.
