Josette Roach, 29, of Saint Augustine, FL developed an early interest in the automotive and motorsports industries. This isn’t surprising considering her family was involved in drag racing and the automotive industry long before Josette was born. Her parents were at a race track the day before she was born, and she often joined her father Butch in the garage, eager to get hands-on with various projects. From an early age, her parents engrained in her that she could be anything or do anything, but it would be hard work to get there. Her parents always encouraged her to chase after her dreams and never let being a female stop her. She began racing junior dragsters at the age of 16 and slowly worked her way into faster and faster bracket racing classes. For Josette, the race track is a place where her entire family gets together to spend quality time doing something they all love.

After exploring music, theater, cheer, and biomedical sciences, Josette decided to follow her passion for the automotive industry. She has been part of the Larsen Motorsports (LMS) team since 2017 and received a full-time job offer in 2019. 2022 marked her first season as a primary driver for the House of Kolor Jet Racing Team.

In 2024, Josette graduated with a Bachelor's in Organizational Management specializing in nonprofit management, with honors. Josette looks forward to the future at LMS and lives every moment enjoying the small things. “Don’t just shoot for stars, shoot past them. Don’t let the fear of ‘what if’ stop you.” says Josette. She believes this new generation has so much opportunity and they just have to dream it, see it, and just go for it.
