something different from each race. As long as you are having fun that’s all that matters.”
Her car number is 14. She likes the number because it is her big brother Liam’s number in hockey and she looks up to him a lot.
On race day Jaden always goes to her sister Megan’s house and gets her hair braided. She also has a dime super glued on the dash of her car.
“The dime is in memory of my brother Nathan, so I always touch it and talk to him as I’m waiting in the lineup to make sure that he is watching over me making sure that I am safe.”
Jaden is a grade 10 high school student from Brighton Ontario Canada. She loves being outdoors in the summer. Her favorite quote would have to be “If it breaks, then it wasn’t meant to be.”
When she was a little girl she
didn’t play with dolls or cars, or toys of any kind really. She grew up with siblings that are 10 and 13 years older, so she was a very “mature” kid. Instead, she would lay on a piece of cardboard in the garage as her dad worked on his race car. She would watch him or be watching TV and sometimes she would fall asleep as her dad worked and you know it’s not quiet in a race shop!
One last thing Jaden wants to share was, “I can’t leave out my mom, thank you for supporting me with my racing even though I know it’s not her favorite sport. Thank you to my family that comes to the track whenever they can it really means a lot. A huge thanks goes out to the guys that I race with, I wouldn’t want to race with anyone else.”

Greys Anatomy would be her go-to TV show and her fa- vorite holidays are Christmas and Canada Day. Both are spent with family and they are very festive days. She loves Canada Day spent at the race track and her family always hangs a big Canadian flag from their trailer.
Something most people don’t know about Jaden is that she is actually a very girly-girl. Most of the time she wears jeans, hoodies and her steal toed boots, but she does like to dress up once in a while.
She works part time as a dish washer at a restaurant close to her home. It’s pretty quiet at her work and not a lot of people there know that she races, but the ones that do think it is very cool and want to go watch her race this season.
Jaden is a grade 10 student at East Northumberland Second- ary School (ENSS). After high school she wants to continue racing and wants to go to school to become a photographer. She hopes to have her own photography studio one day.
When Jaden has some free time, she loves spending time with her friends and family, being creative and doing art projects.
Her favorite race car driver is definately her dad Mike. He drives the #51 Camaro Thunder stock at Brighton Speedway, and her favorite famous driver is Dale Earnhardt Jr.
