There is one thing the world doesn't have a shortage of and that's talented kids who break the mold when it comes to interests.
11-year-old Meckenzie Marsh is one of the those kids. Marsh races slingshots that can reach speeds of 100 mph on asphalt and 80 mph on dirt tracks.
She visited the Ellen DeGeneres show to give a full breakdown of her passion.
Marsh has an infectious spirit and a ton of enthusiasm when she describes her passion for racing. She told DeGeneres that she likes doing what she does and going fast.
To that, DeGeneres asked if she would have a tendency to speed whenever she got her license.
After a moment of silence Marsh gave the honest answer, "I don't know." Marsh seems to be fearless when it comes to racing and when it comes to being in the spotlight.
Marsh was being interviewed due to her August 15th win at Five Mile Point Speedway, according to RacingNews. Marsh's dream car is an aqua convertible Ford Mustang and her dream is to drive in NASCAR.
Marsh also has a pretty big role model when it comes to racing, Danica Patrick. Patrick began racing Indy Cars and made the transition to NASCAR where she continues to roll with the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson.
DeGeneres surprised Marsh with a surprise visit from Patrick and the fearless 11-year-old continued to show her personality. Marsh said that while Patrick was her role model, she wanted to be better than her and issued a challenge to her role model.
