Career

A native of San Antonio, Texas, Blakley made her debut in racing at age 16 at local tracks in central Texas, following having been a cheerleader at Texas Military Institute. She raced in the All Pro Series and Goody's Dash Series starting in the mid-1980s, becoming best known for a controversial sponsorship deal with Ramses prophylactics in 1994. She attempted to qualify for the Snowball Derby in 1990 and 1991, but failed to make the field for either race; she attempted to race in the Busch Series in 1994, but failed to qualify for any races, crashing in qualifying at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Married to Jeff Blakely and with one son, Blakley died on February 13, 2011.
