Elena Myers Court (born November 21, 1993[2]) is an American professional motorcycle racer. She made history in 2010 as the first female to win an AMA Pro Racing sprint road race.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] She is also the first woman to win a professional motorsports race of any kind at Daytona International Speedway, on March 17, 2012.[10][11][12]
Myers is possibly the youngest female ever to enter the AMA racing circuit.[13] In 2007, at age 13, she was under contract with Kawasaki Team Green[14][15] three years before she was old enough to obtain a drivers license.[14] She rode a Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship.
Myers filed a lawsuit against Loews Hotels in February 2017, alleging she was sexually assaulted by a masseur in Philadelphia in October 2014.[16][17]
