She finds her own.
From combat zones to the racetrack, Rowdie turns pressure into purpose and speed into healing. This is her story.
▶ Watch Rowdie’s Story
Some people drive. Some people turn wrenches. Some people work pit lane. Some people volunteer. Some people simply come to be around people who understand. There isn’t one way to be part of Shield Maiden Racing. There are countless ways to belong.
You might not know exactly what you’d do with us. But we know you’d be welcome. Forget the weight of the world for a weekend. Laugh together. Build something together. Be part of something bigger than yourself.

Purpose
Every person has something to contribute. Every contribution matters.
Laughter
Forget the weight of the world for a weekend.
Belonging
You don’t have to know where you fit before you arrive. We’ll find your place together.
We Refuse To Lose Another Brother
That smiling man giving a thumbs up? That’s On.
He was battle buddies with Sergeant Aaron Buckley overseas. They went through hell together.
In 2019, Aaron took his own life.
On carries that loss with him every single day. But instead of facing the silence alone, he’s here with us — in the pits, in the cars, building something real with brothers and sisters who understand what he’s been through.
Every lap we take, we’re racing to keep guys like On here.
And in his own words: On found a new team and a place that he belongs.
This isn’t just a racing team. This is how we make sure the next Aaron doesn’t have to fight those demons by himself.
If you show up, you’re our guest — at every race, every weekend. This isn’t pay-to-belong. It’s belong, period.
The Uniform Comes Off.
The Emptiness Doesn’t.
Far too many veterans take their own lives every day — and firefighters, medics, and police officers aren’t far behind. The danger was never the hardest part of the job. Losing the team that stood in it with you is. Shield Maiden Racing exists to give that team back, to every veteran and every first responder who’s ever felt the silence after the sirens stop.
