Courtney Hansen Is a 'Great Build'-er

Courtney Hansen is on the Spike TV's new show Great Builds, which premires on Sunday, August 17.

In the show, Hansen stated, "We're going to be doing a whole build, from front to back, in an hour episode and we're covering some of the best builds we've done over the past 20 years in Spike TV's Powerblock."

Hansen and her two siblings grew up on the raceway. Her father, Jerry Hansen, won 27 Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) national club racing championships. But their parents steered them away from pursuing a career in racing. "They were adamantly against my sister, brother and I going down that road. They were like, 'Please, anything but race car driving,'" said Hansen.

This Minnesota native has been a automobile enthusiast and a grease monkey all her life. "This is my world. This is my passion," said Hansen.
