INTERACTIVE: Just one of the guys

Jacki Troutman-Sombke doesn't let the boys get in her way of racing

It's loud, raucous, and not just a boys club. This is motorcross at the Delaware County Fairgrounds where Jacki Troutman-Sombke just won her race and is the only female competitor. She works full time and is a senior nursing major here at Ball State. And somehow, she still finds time to race on the weekends.

"I'm kind of a tomboy. I look girly, but I'm really not," Troutman-Sombke said.

She's been racing since the age of four, and it doesn't look like there's an end in sight.
