Jessi Combs, born on July twenty-seventh, nineteen eighty, was a remarkable American professional racer, television personality, and skilled metal fabricator. She earned the title of 'the fastest woman on four wheels' after setting a women's land speed class record in two thousand thirteen, a record she impressively broke again in two thousand sixteen.
Her dynamic presence extended beyond racing; Combs co-hosted the popular Spike TV show Xtreme 4x4 for over ninety episodes from two thousand five to two thousand nine. She also made notable appearances on various television programs, including Overhaulin', MythBusters, The List: 1001 Car Things To Do Before You Die, All Girls Garage, and the Science Channel's How to Build... Everything in two thousand sixteen.
Tragically, Jessi Combs passed away while attempting to break her own four-wheel land speed record in a jet-powered high-speed race car at the Alvord Desert in southeastern Oregon. Her legacy continued posthumously when she was awarded the female land-speed world record by Guinness World Records in June two thousand twenty.
