Combs set the women’s land speed record on October 9, 2013 with an official run of 398.95 mph, breaking the previously held record of of 308.51 mph held by Lee Breedlove. Dubbed the “Fastest Woman on Four Wheels”, she was attempting to exceed 512 mph according to a recent Instagram post.
Jessi was a host of Xtreme 4×4 on PowerBlock. She also appeared on Overhaulin’ , Mythbusters and All Girls Garage. Our hearts go out to her family during this difficult time.

    My heart sank when I read this... I was fortunate to meet Jessi one time at the location in Franklin where they filmed Extreme 4x4. My crew worked there several days installing holding pens for all the different shows to have a safe place fir parts till needed. In a few occasions while we worjed and they worked/filmed, our paths would cross. And who couldn't pass up a chance to speak with the likes if a Jessi Combs. I've always been a car nut and just to speak with someone so knowledgeable and so down to earth was a real pleasure. RIP Jessi, you will definitely be missed.

She was soo upset and anyone who depends on their leathers can relate. Im truly saddened by her passing. I just hope Jessi knew how loved she was/is and always will be. 😢❤️
