Ginger Baker Rust comes to you from Mooresville, North Carolina, aka “Race City U.S.A.”. She’s a motorsports sports agent with decades of corporate marketing and experience, accolades, and achievements. Ginger was the Chief Marketing Officer for Ryan Newman, driver of the #6 Ford in the Nascar Cup Series. She’s the one behind the scenes who works corporate partnerships, contracts, and the business side of various global motorsports. If you have seen the movie Jerry Maguire, her day-to-day operations are pretty much what Tom Cruise’s character does. She is a well-respected, behind-the-scenes powerhouse in the world of motorsports and had and has been given the nickname “Lady Mavrik” by her peers in the industry as she has built a solid reputation with everyone from the series owners, drivers, team owners, pit crews, hauler drivers, and the media outlets. Ginger is an amateur racer who earned an NHRA Dragster Pilot’s license in 2021, and in 2020, earned an ECTA land speed record in a 2020 Yenko Camaro street car in the Modern Street/Blown 8-Cylinder category with a 199.557 mph pass on the 1.25 mile course, which made her the second-fastest woman in the history of the class and the third fastest in the history of the national ECTA event.
