What Makes Lexy Pantera So Special

Lex did not have a very luxurious upbringing; she spent a part of her initial years in a dodgy neighborhood but did not fall prey to the drug dealing that was a usual activity in the area. She has maintained a good rapport with both her immediate and step family members and feels indebted to them for their contribution in her life. But it was her father’s serious injury in a motocross accident that made her quit racing at the age of 11 when she was ruling the game.
