Sports Briefs: Sullivans' history put on hold

Sullivans' history put on hold

Corning resident Katie Sullivan, who had hoped to make motorcycle racing history by teaming with her father to become the first father-daughter team to race in an NHRA Pro-Stock Motorcycle event at the Gatornationals in Gainseville, Fla. this weekend will have to wait.

According to her mother, Terri, Sullivan crashed her motorcycle while testing in Valdosta, Fla. on Monday.

"She crashed going through the lights at the end of the quarter doing between 180 and 190 mph," said her mother. "She then continued down the track without the bike, resulting in road rash and bruises. So unfortunately, Katie's dream of racing her dad at a national event will have to be put on hold for now."
