CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

DAISY DUKE –2020 ROUSH STAGE 3

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE DOING THIS AT MY AGE, OR EVER!

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

My name is Dee Norman and this is my very first Mustang ever. My late husband and I ordered her back just before the pandemic really hit (early 2020). The car was for me, as my husbandmGreg, felt I deserved to have a nice car after working so hard to achieve my career goals. I’ve been a Nurse Practitioner in Cardiology for 17 years now. Previously an ICU nurse for 15 years. It took about 8 months for the car to arrive, but the wait was worth it. Unfortunately, Greg passed away a month after I got the car.

Last year, after much coaxing from a coworker that races, I took her to the Las Vegas Speedway for the first time with Speed Ventures. It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time! I was hooked! Now, I am currently participating in the High Performance Driving Experience (HPDE) with Nasa Utah or Nasa SoCal (National Auto Sports Association) with the goal of getting into either time trials or actual racing.

She is so much fun to drive!! She’s called Daisy Duke because that’s a nickname my siblings have given me (also, she’s orange like the General Lee).

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

BTW, I’m 59 years old. Never thought I’d be doing this at my age, or ever! Thanks to my daddy for the love of fast cars!

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
