Episode 342 Olivia Joiner: "Breaking the Glass Ceiling with Wrenches and Grit"

Olivia Joiner’s journey into the ATV world started like many others wrenching alongside her dad at a Honda dealership and helping out at the family’s rental shop. But Olivia didn’t just ride she learned to build, fix, and fine tune her own machines. A former Canadian local series racer, Olivia pivoted to the U.S. National scene when ATV racing declined in her home country.

With a rare mix of mechanical talent and racing experience, she’s carving a path few others in the sport have walked especially women. After enrolling in a local technical trade school, Olivia thought her racing career might be over. But in 2025, she made a surprise return to the track, proving you can chase more than one dream at a time.

Looking ahead, Olivia plans to complete her training and become a race mechanic at the professional level. Tune in as she shares her passion for both the sport and the shop and how she’s determined to make her mark in a male-dominated industry.
