Nicole Lyons

National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) drag racer, Nicole Lyons, has signed deals with William Morris Agency (WMA) and Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment (BHE) to assist her as she tries to become the first female to win a NHRA Pro Stock event and championship.

WMA and BHE will use the world of entertainment to help Lyons, who has teamed up with Victor Cagnazzi Racing for a big push to racing NHRA Pro Stock 2010 contingent upon finding sponsors.

“Teaming up with Victor Cagnazzi will give any new potential sponsors the best they could ask for in terms of NHRA Pro Stock,” said Lyons. “I am so excited to have the opportunity to race with such a world class organization when sponsorship is in place.”

“Redefining history is what I do best,” she continued. “Being a woman and on top of that, an African American woman, I had to overcome boundaries to make it where I am today, and I wouldn’t change anything because it shows the example that with persistence, drive, determination, and faith anything and everything is possible.”
