Three Vermonters with a passion for motorsports are set to talk about persevering in the face of physical challenges to keep racing, according to a community announcement.
The announcement, from the New England Racing Museum, says the trio will join a roundtable discussion Jan. 31 called “Racing Without Limits.”
The event is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 31 at 922 Route 106 N, Loudon, New Hampshire, where the museum is based.
It’ll feature the stories of Jennifer Getty of Fletcher, Bradley Grenier of Barre and the late Randy Campbell of Montpelier. Getty and Grenier will speak, and Campbell’s sister, Linda Campbell-Willey, will speak for her brother’s memory.
Getty, a longtime competitor at Thunder Road International Speedbowl, was born without a hand and built a respected stock racing career. She earned multiple top finishes, two feature wins and the Eddie Carroll Sportsmanship Award before stepping away from racing, according to the announcement. Getty is now preparing for a return to competition in 2026.
Ten-year-old Grenier represents the next generation of Vermont racers. Living with cerebral palsy and a vision impairment, Grenier competes in the Junior Champ Kart summer racing series and has earned wins and podium finishes. Known for his positive attitude and sportsmanship, Grenier hopes to raise awareness for young athletes facing similar challenges and encourage them to pursue their goals, the announcement says.
Campbell, a Montpelier native, raced stock cars in the 1990s after being born with spina bifida. Doctors once told Campbell he might never walk or live to adulthood, according to the announcement. Instead, he fulfilled a lifelong dream of racing at Thunder Road, climbing from his wheelchair into the driver’s seat on race nights.
The roundtable will be led by Justin St. Louis, president of the Sprint Cars of New England and the Vermont Motorsports Hall of Fame. “Racing Without Limits” is open to the public and included with museum admission.
“’Racing Without Limits’ is about more than racing,” the event’s organizers say. “It’s about telling stories of resilience, family and determination — stories that deserve to be shared.”
