Allie Riggs

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!"

- Allie Riggs, after any major collision.

Allison Loraine Fenton-Riggs (born May 23, 1990), better known as Allie Riggs, is an American race car driver and the youngest of the Riggs racing family, also consisting of her older sister Leslie Riggs and mother Brenda Riggs. Riggs currently competes in the ARLA Elite Series for her own team, Allie Riggs Racing. She is most known for her extremely aggressive driving style and short temper.

Early career
Riggs began racing karts at the age of 6, in the same club as her sister. She immediately displayed her trademark aggression, unafraid to make contact with opponents and pick fights. Riggs is very proud of one fight in particular; when she was 7, she had an altercation with fellow future ARLA driver Scott Dalitz, who is 4 years older than her, after he spun her out. She supposedly yanked Dalitz off of his kart and beat him with her helmet, which she is more than happy to display as a trophy.

Riggs was ultimately banned from the club due to her behavior. She started racing again at the age of 14, driving for the street stock operation her mother owned in place of Leslie who had departed for ARLA. Riggs kept her behavior somewhat in check, and consistently finished in the top 10. She was often outpaced by her mother, but still managed to win several races.

ARLA/Master Cup career
Riggs, now 17, was called up to the ARLA Elite Series, joining her sister at Chris Jackson's team. Riggs won in her third start at Charlotte, and scored another win at Langhorne.

In 2009, Riggs was surprisingly hired by Flare Motorsports to drive the #29 Lenard in the TM Master Cup Series. However, she failed to qualify for several races after an accident in the Daytona qualifiers with Scott Dalitz, who had apparently entered the race with a massive grudge against Riggs.

Despite finishing in the top 10 at the controversy-plagued Round of Texas, Riggs' contract with Flare was terminated coming into the Round of Quincy, leaving her with only the ARLA ride at the Jackson team. This infuriated Riggs, and she supposedly holds a grudge against team owner Don McKinney and Lenard to this day.

Riggs' 2009 and 2010 seasons were very dismal. When she got held up by slower cars during the 2009 New York Race, she went on an outrage on her radio non-stop as she got taken out of contention for the win. After officials heard her radio communications when the race was over, she was removed from her ride for the rest of the season, with Rachel Rainsford taking her place, but she still returned to the team the following year. After the Appleton Speedway Fright Night in 2010, she was parked by her team, which by then was owned by her mother under the Riggs Motorsports banner, after wrecking her sister Leslie. She did not race in the final two events of the season, but she was put back in her car for the 2011 season. That year, Riggs experienced a resurgence, winning 3 races (including the 150 Laps of Dwyer) and finishing second in the points standings.

Personal life
Riggs still has what is described as a very negative attitude. She is not well-liked by much of her team, her speech is saturated with profanity, and she has even been seen insulting fans on more than one occasion. However, her primary sponsor TirADE reportedly enjoys the publicity generated by her outbursts, although she seems to have not generated as much controversy since the 2011 season.

Riggs is currently in a relationship with TM Master Cup driver and M&J Racing co-owner Chris Johaanes. It is believed that this is the main reason behind the strong technical alliance between M&J Racing and Riggs Motorsports. Many people have wondered out loud how they could possibly be compatible, as Johaanes' quiet demeanor contrasts Riggs considerably. However, Johaanes does not seem to care about Riggs' behavioral issues.

Her sister (and teammate) Leslie is known to have threatened to walk out on Riggs Motorsports over Allie's behavior at least once; most notably in the aftermath of the 2010 Appleton Speedway Fright Night. Leslie blew her engine after an earlier accident with Allie, and she waited for the race to end before walking up to Allie and punching her once. It is believed that Allie was parked for the rest of 2010 because Leslie threatened to leave the team.

Trivia
