    After winning the 2023 “Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings” invitational at Tulsa Raceway Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Musi told Drag Illustrated in August , “I swear I haven’t been this happy in my whole life. I just feel like I can do my job as a driver, and it just came so naturally. It felt so good to be able to be myself again and race.”

    She noted that her health struggles didn’t put her down, saying: “I still have the fire in me.”

    “I have such a huge support system that keeps me going. My family has been so supportive. It’s incredible, and I’m so thankful for that.”

    Musi continued, “I’ll sit in treatment rooms, getting this chemo done, and here I am a couple of days later in a race car, and now we won this race – it feels like the biggest accomplishment ever. We struggled so much, so I feel like going through all those struggles makes a win so much more worthwhile.  Me and my dad got emotional at the top end, but we both know that we went through hell and back to get to where we’re at. I look up to him so much.”

    “But there are days where I feel stronger than ever.”

    Her father wrote in his Facebook post about her death, “At this time, the family would like to have time to process, grief [sic] and make arrangements in peace. We will give an update as soon as we have information to share.”
