Elena Myers (born November 21, 1993 in Mountain View, California) made history in 2010 as the first female to win an AMA Pro Racing sprint road race. She is also the first woman to win a professional motorsports race of any kind at Daytona International Speedway, on March 17, 2012.
Myers might be the youngest female ever to enter the AMA racing circuit. In 2007, at age 13, she was under contract with Kawasaki Team Green three years before she was old enough to obtain a drivers license.
Myers began riding at age eight, with the help and encouragement of her parents. She began with pocketbike racing, then progressed to mini bikes, then to supermoto. At age 11 (2006), Myers raced on John Ulrich's Team Roadracing World in the United States Grand Prix Racers Union (USGPRU) National Series 125 cc (7.6 cu in) class and won her first race, riding a 1997 Honda RS125 GP. She then gained sponsorship assistance from Kawasaki and Road RacingWorld.com's "Kids: Don't Smoke!" program. She also had a sponsorship from Umbrella Girls USA, a modeling agency for paddock girls.
