Bio
Becky has always been interested in sports. She
was heavily involved in Track, Volleyball and
Softball throughout her school years. She competed
with the #22, so for Becky to desire the number 22
on the factory stock car she started at TRP in
2002, came as no surprise. Becky spent some of her
free time racing motorcycles with her family. She
also grew up with an interest in car racing, her
father had been involved in Drag Racing, then gave
it up to raise the family.
There were times as Becky was growing up, that
her father encouraged her to learn more about cars.
He taught her how to perform maintenance and
repairs on her first car. There were many times
that Becky spent under the hood of her car with her
Dad, instead of going out with her friends. At the
age of 17, Becky lost her father in an aircraft
accident, he was only 42 years old. She did
however, retain all that he taught her.
Becky finished 2nd in the point standings racing
SCCA in 2001, even after quitting the season early
to go circle track racing. She was leading by a
large margin with 5 races remaining, when she left
to TRP.
Becky attended Nursing School and graduated in
1988 as Class President of her nursing class. She
went directly into specializing in Obstetrics and
Gynecology, where she remained until 1997. Becky's
interest went to Orthopedics then Cardiology for
some time, but eventually her interests changed and
then she worked as a Surgical Assistant. After many
years of nursing, Becky got out of the healthcare
profession and opened an automotive repair shop
with Bill.
Becky's Crew Chief for the #22 Factory Stock in
2002 was her husband, Bill Harrington. He built the
car she raced. He also built Becky's new FS car,
which she raced in the 2003 season. Bill took over
the car Becky raced in the 2002 season so that he
could join Becky out on the track. It was the #2
Factory Stock and the paint scheme for the #2 was
identical to Becky's. The husband and wife team
carry the name "Deuce's Wild Racing".
The history behind the #22 from 2002, is that
Bill Harrington ran the car in the 2001 season as
the #122. Due to work obligations and the lack of
assistance in the pits, it was virtually impossible
to have a successful season. He then gave Becky the
opportunity to run the car so that he could place
his focus primarily on set-up. The #122 had a start
in the 2001 season as a completely new car that was
fabricated by Bill.
