Josette Roach, originally from Saint Augustine, FL, developed an early interest in the automotive and motorsports industries. Her family was involved in drag racing and the automotive world long before she was born—her parents were at a race track the day before her arrival. She often joined her father Butch in the garage, eager to get hands-on with various projects. From an early age, her parents taught her that anything was possible with hard work and to never let being a female hold her back.  She began racing junior dragsters at the age of 16 and slowly worked her way into faster and faster bracket racing classes. For Josette, the race track is a place where her entire family gets together to spend quality time doing something they all love.

 She has been part of the Larsen Motorsports (LMS) team since 2017 and received a full-time job offer in 2019. 2022 marked her first season as a primary driver for the House of Kolor Jet Racing Team.

In 2024, Josette graduated with a Bachelor's in Organizational Management specializing in nonprofit management, with honors. Josette looks forward to the future at LMS and lives every moment enjoying the small things. In March 2025, she married Josh Durham and now enjoys life with her stepson Taylor and their fluffy Frenchie, Chloe.

“Don’t just shoot for stars, shoot past them.” says Josette. She believes this new generation has so much opportunity and they just have to dream it, see it, and just go for it.
