DIRT POCKET ROCKET
When your childhood memories are laced with the rumble of engines and the unmistakable scent of dirt tracks, it’s almost inevitable that racing becomes part of your DNA. For Chloe Coxall motorsport isn’t just a hobby; it’s a generational legacy.
Three generations deep in speedway, Chloe’s earliest memories involve cheering from the sidelines, eyes wide as her dad and other family members tore around the oval circuits of Western Australia. From that first visceral experience, she was hooked. “I’ve always had a passion for cars, speed, and adrenaline,” she says. “Speedway is just the perfect fit.”
It was just before her 13th birthday when Chloe finally got her own shot behind the wheel. What began as a passion quickly became a purpose. Now, racing junior sedans across the Great Southern, Chloe is forging her own path in one of the most demanding grassroots motorsport disciplines.
Junior Sedans under Speedway Australia’s umbrella might sound like a stepping stone, but don’t let the “junior” tag fool you. These are full-size, road-going vehicles—transformed into finely tuned weapons. “Road cars are stripped to bare shells and built from there,” Chloe explains. “It’s a very time-consuming process. It takes a lot of commitment, skill and perseverance.”
And perseverance is something Chloe has in spades. Her current car is a Mitsubishi Lancer, but that’s about to change. “We’re building a Mitsubishi Mirage at the moment,” she says with a grin, clearly excited for what’s to come. She races most weekends during the season, travelling extensively around the region, chasing points, perfecting her line, and soaking up every moment.
Speedway is not for the faint of heart. With clay or dirt surfaces shifting under your tyres, reflexes and racecraft matter just as much as raw speed. Chloe thrives under pressure—though she’s had her share of heart-stopping moments too. One of the scariest? “Hitting the wall in the middle of the main straight at Albany’s Atwell Park,” she recalls. It’s the kind of jarring reminder that in motorsport, things can go wrong in a heartbeat.
But setbacks only fuel her hunger. Chloe’s ultimate dream is clear: she’s chasing a national title. And judging by her trajectory, it’s only a matter of time.
Chloe’s results speak volumes. From her early breakthrough in Albany, where she surged from tenth to fourth in the feature race—nearly stealing a podium—to her undefeated clean sweep in Bunbury, she’s building a résumé that turns heads in the paddock.
Her 2023/24 season concluded with Rookie of the Year and Best Presented Car at her home club’s wind-up, while the 2024/25 season saw her crowned Most Improved Junior. In Manjimup and Narrogin, she blitzed the JSRA rounds, coming out on top. These aren’t just statistics—they’re milestones. Proof that grit and grind pay off.
Beyond the results, Chloe’s also grateful for the support crew behind the scenes: T & C Supplies, A.B.A Security and Electrical, and Pro Motion Automotive help keep her race-ready. But it’s her family that really powers her. “Mum and Dad. Grandad. Paul Colmer. Everyone who’s helped on the car. All the family supporters,” she says, acknowledging the many hands and hearts invested in her journey.
What advice would she offer the next wave of racers lining the fences, dreaming of taking that first green flag?
“Perseverance is key,” she says. “Don’t stop until you’ve reached that top step. Or just send it.”
There’s wisdom in that—wrapped in classic racer humour. For Chloe, racing isn’t just about trophies. It’s about resilience. The nights spent in the shed. The endless dirt under your fingernails. The trackside memories etched into your bones. “I love the thrill, the adrenaline—and knowing I have my family supporting me all the way.”
Nicknamed the Pocket Rocket for good reason, Chloe is small in stature but massive in determination. As she transitions to the new Mirage and gears up for another season of wheel-to-wheel battles, it’s clear she’s not slowing down any time soon.
Speedway in regional Western Australia may not come with the glitz of Formula One, but its heart beats just as fiercely. And in that world of dust, steel, and Saturday night lights, Chloe Coxall is carving out a name all her own.
She’s part of a proud lineage—but what she’s building is entirely her own.
And if you ask anyone trackside, they’ll tell you: the Pocket Rocket is just getting started.
