Harli has an incredible story behind her, her first race ever could have been her last. In April of 2008 Harli went to her first Micro race ever. During her first race ever the car flipped and laid on it's side and out of no where the car exploded into flames with harli still strapped in it. She was trapped and couldn't get out. Then when a God sent Angel arrived to pull her from the burning fire, she was freed from the burning car by Donnie Ray Crawford. Harli was left with scars over 50% of her body deep third degree burns. As soon as harli was released from the Shriners Hospital for Children in Galveston, TX she wanted to race again, so in 2009 she went back to racing micros and has made her way up to the sprint cars.
