'But they chose this truck for me because of my fan base that I already had (with ATVs). 'I really didn't think too much about it when they first asked me to drive,' Williams said. Williams predicted that driving with an iconic cartoon character on the side of her truck will make her popular with the children this weekend, too. Finale.Plenty of heavy hitters are scheduled to compete this weekend, including the legendary Grave Digger, Max D and Monster Energy. Action will continue with a pair of shows Saturday at 2 p.m. When it's your passion, nothing is going to slow you down.'

'When are you going to quit?' I say, 'Thanks to you, I've added just five more years to it.' It adds fuel to my fire.' Dealing with it is a struggle, but I get through it.' I have broken 27 bones, and all of my doctors hate, hate what I do. I have one functioning lung, really bad asthma and I'm sick all the time. But that's that.' About two years later, they found out that I have chronic pansinusitis. 'They were like, 'She's not going to live. 'I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when I was born, and I coded twice,' Williams said. She started racing ATVs when she was 15 years old, and that eventually opened doors to her ride in Monster Jam. Williams was later informed that that diagnosis was all wrong and she instead has a chronic lung disease.But Williams has overcome her health challenges to enjoy a lengthy motorsports career that has recently blossomed into an opportunity in Monster Trucks. Her doctors told her parents that she wouldn't live beyond age 11 after she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. I'm going to cry.' It's an amazing feeling.' Williams has gone far in motorsports, just like she has in life. 'I climbed up and sat down, and my crew chief climbed into the cab next to me and said, 'What is wrong? Why are you crying? Are you hurt?ĭo I need to go get the medics? Do you need to get you down?' I'm like, 'No, I can't believe I made it this far.' I bawled my eyes out because I couldn't believe that I was there.' To this day, and I'm going on my 40-something show, and still before the show starts, when I'm sitting up in my truck waiting to do parade laps, I have one moment where I'm like, 'I'm going to cry. 'It is an embarrassing story,' Williams said about the first time she drove a truck.
