Shayna Texter-Bauman
Shayna Texter-Bauman is a history maker, inspirational figure, role model, and, quite possibly, the most popular rider in all of dirt track racing.
She’s also incredibly fast and accomplished.
Texter became the first female to win a Progressive American Flat Track Main Event with her GNC2 triumph at Knoxville Raceway in 2011. As monumental as that was, it was only a small preview of what was to follow.
Today, the Pennsylvanian not only ranks as the winningest rider in Parts Unlimited AFT Singles history, no other rider is within four wins of her career class tally of 19.
Texter boasts a unique blend of tactical acumen, go-for-broke bravery, iron will, and diminutive size that, at times, makes her practically unstoppable in Mile and Half-Mile competition.
Texter has continued to rewrite the record books with each successive victory. That was true again at the 2019 Texas Half-Mile where she and her brother, Cory, became the first siblings to earn AFT Main Event victories on the same day.
Texter-Bauman is teammates with her husband, Briar Bauman, on the Rick Ware Racing squad.
