Payton Dumford (Dirt Princess)
Payton Dumford, better known as Dirt Princess, is one of the youngest competitors in Ultra4 racing and already one of its most promising rising talents. She began racing at just five years old in go-karts, progressing through youth classes and side-by-sides before stepping into full Ultra4 competition in the 4900 UTV class behind the wheel of her Polaris Turbo S.
In 2024, Payton became a King of the Hammers finisher at just fourteen years old, marking a major milestone in one of off-road racing’s most demanding events. That same season, she captured her first Ultra4 victory at Crandon—at a track she had never previously finished—proving her ability to adapt, execute, and compete under pressure.
Off the track, Payton works on her own race car alongside her father, learning prep strategy, bolt checks, troubleshooting, and mechanical fundamentals. From day one, she was taught that racing means understanding every component of the machine. Now preparing to take welding classes to build cages and chassis herself, Payton represents a new generation of drivers who value both seat time and shop time. HP Tuners is proud to support Payton Dumford as she continues to push forward in Ultra4 racing and inspire more young drivers to step into the garage and behind the wheel.
