Summer Richardson, a.k.a. Mrs. Swoop, is the blonde bombshell behind Swoop Motorsports, a drag racing team that she started in 2018.
Before Summer Richardson began racing on dry land, she first made her name on the water as a powerboat driver. In fact, she achieved multiple records as the fastest solo female powerboat driver.
“Mrs. Swoop” started her racing career with performance boats in the 1-mile shootout events at Lake Havasu and Lake of the Ozarks.
She even set a world record in 2016 with a top speed of 185 miles per hour on a 388 Skater powerboat.
But, as boating accidents continue to surge, Summer began to realize that water sports were becoming too dangerous. Still, she wanted to continue her racing career.
So, she decided to join the drag racing scene with her now-husband, Travis Richardson, and her father, Don London.
According to reporting from Rally Is Life, “It was fate that brought Mrs. Swoop to the drag racing world, coincidentally the Top Fuel driver Shawn Langdon’s dad, Chad Langdon, was selling his entire Super Comp operation, which became the perfect fit for her drag racing career.”
So, “Mrs. Swoop” took that opportunity and starting her racing team, Swoop Motorsports, which has five cars in its fleet, and she began racing in the Super Comp and Top Dragster classes.
Summer’s career quickly took off. She started her drag racing career in 2018, and participated in the NHRA Division 7 Sportsman class in Super Comp. Then, in 2019, she got licensed in Top Dragster, and ran SC and TD in 2020, and has set her sights on Top Fuel.
Clearly, this blonde bombshell can do anything she sets her mind to. While she’s not in a bikini on a powerboat anymore, she still looks smoking hot in a race car.
