OK woman breaks down barriers by opening a welding shop aged just 18

A glamorous woman is racing to break down barriers by becoming the first female speedway in her city and by opening a welding shop to inspire young girls.

Emme Hughes, 21, of Enid, has spent the past 12 years racing and finally took home her first win on June 1 at Enid Speedway in the Sport Mods/B-Mods division, where she was the only female in the race.

'I felt very excited,' Hughes told DailyMail.com on Wednesday. 'It was nerve-wracking, but at the same time, [I had] an adrenaline rush.'
