Racing has always felt like home to Jenny Lewis. She grew up at flat-track events, watching her brother Johnny Lewis race and spending weekends surrounded by the close-knit community of the paddock. But when it came time to build her own life, Jenny initially chose a different direction. After six years studying nutrition, dietetics, and exercise science, she began working with children with disabilities at an equine-assisted therapy facility. It was meaningful work, but after years of following the path she thought she was supposed to follow, Jenny found herself burned out and unsure of what came next.

An unexpected move to Florida eventually opened the door to Royal Enfield’s Build Train Race program—and Jenny discovered a role that seemed to draw from every part of her life.
Today, she manages BTR’s flat-track and road-racing programs, helping women build motorcycles, train with accomplished coaches, and compete with American Flat Track and MotoAmerica. Her job encompasses everything from parts, sponsors, travel, and logistics to nutrition, encouragement, and knowing when a rider needs advice—or simply a hug.
In this episode of Driven to Ride, Jenny shares the personal journey behind her career and explains why Build Train Race is about far more than finishing position.
