JoAnna Iacobelli isn’t your typical car girl. In fact, JoAnna isn’t a “car girl” at all, as she says—she’s another enthusiast with a passion for Mustangs and it’s become her calling.

Practically born in her parent’s Mustang performance shop, JoAnna was destined to become a Ford fanatic, or more specifically, a Mustang fanatic like her parents. After her parents met and fell in love while cruising in their Mustangs, they married and opened their first shop in Michigan before having JoAnna. If JoAnna wasn’t with her parents at the shop, they were at the drag strip squeezing in every pass they could. Naturally, she became obsessed with laying down rubber.

Once JoAnna could drive, her dad bought her first Mustang, an 2011 5.0, before she bought her very own 2007 GT and started making passes on the drag strip herself. Years later, she’s even more in love with her Mustangs and the thrilling sport of drag racing than ever before. JoAnna and her equally Mustang-obsessed husband now build rides and race together while documenting everything on their YouTube channel, @that1320chick.

HP Tuners is proud to support JoAnna and her Mustang journey!

I ALWAYS HAD THE MINDSET THAT IF SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO IT, WHY CAN’T I? AND I THINK NOT WORRYING ABOUT GENDER IN THIS SPORT REALLY HELPED ME TO KEEP PUSHING WHERE I WANTED TO BE AND WHERE I AM NOW.
