  • Summary

  • If it has an engine, Dee Bryant can probably drive it. Bulldozers, backhoes, cranes, big rigs, dump trucks, boats, and of course, race cars. Dee, a professional stuntwoman, tells Jim Farley about how she learned to race cars in L.A. in the 80s, honed her driving as a construction worker operating the big machines, and eventually took the plunge into full-time stunt work.
