A 94-year-old woman took a ride at Michigan International Speedway! She hit speeds of 150 miles per hour!

I think it was Jerry Seinfeld who had a joke about old people driving and how it should be when you’re 90 you should be allowed to go 90. Well, it looks like this 94-year-old woman is bringing that joke to life…and it’s no punchline! She recently rode shotgun at Michigan International Speedway in a Ferrari and hit speeds up to 150 miles per hour! Is that fast enough for you, Jerry?!

94-Year-Old Woman Goes 150MPH At Michigan International Speedway

As you get older, some of your interests might change. You might no longer be interested in going hiking. Maybe you got over your goal of competing in a marathon. However, it doesn’t always have to go that way. This daredevil isn’t losing a step as she gets older. She reportedly once drove her Lincoln 115 miles per hour and now she’s stepping things up at the Michigan International Speedway.

She tells Good News Network, “My mother used to say I came into this world running. If you’re alive, then live.” That’s a great motto to live by! It sounds like it’s not just some saying to her and she’s actually living what she’s preaching. She’s done a lot in her life! Definitely more than the average person has done. She reportedly climbed the Smoky Mountains and explored caves when she was younger. That passion has not gone away with her age. Now, at 94-years-old she’s still going fast.

It sounds like it’s always been a dream of hers to hit the speedway in her home state, Michigan, and now she can cross that off her bucket list after driving a Ferrari at Michigan International Speedway. The whole thing was made possible by a program at her retirement home, Waltonwood Twelve Oaks, in Novi, Michigan. The Adventure Program encourages residents to pursue their dreams and help make it a reality, per Good News Network. What a cool thing for them to do! I love that. A spokesperson says, “Donna is also such a joy to talk to and is incredibly passionate about encouraging others to chase their dreams, as well.” You can see an interview with her and CBS News Detroit below. Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams! So cool to see and I love that Walton Wood Twelve Oaks has this program to make their dreams come true!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
