![]() Sandy made our time in the hospital bearable and she made it as positive and as good of a situation as it could be and that`s my inspiration for wanting to be a nurse.” “I knew that I wanted to step away from racing at least for a little bit and I was really lost on where to go next, and Sandy said, ‘why don’t you try nursing? I think you would be great you’re really compassionate, you’ve handled the worst of the worst, you seem like you love people,’ and I was like, ‘you know what that`s a good idea.’ So nurse Sandy from Bryan Trauma Center in Lincoln, Nebraska is 100% my inspiration behind going to school. Her relationship with one nurse in particular would not only bring her comfort but also guidance. Lauren formed a strong friendship with the nurses at Bryan Trauma Center following her fiancé’s accident. Living out those dreams meant not only rekindling her love for dance but also discovering a new professional purpose. Bryan, his life was ended too short and his dreams were taken away and I’m going to live my dreams out for the both of us.” I definitely channel my inner Bryan every day and he’s on my mind every time I walk onto the field for practice, every time we start to dance, every time the music starts. My life was totally turned upside down the future I thought I’d have disappeared and the one thing that I am most proud of in my 26 years is that I didn’t let loss and grief keep me down and here I am doing something I never would have thought I would have done. I was an almost widow at the age of 24 and, like I said, life happened and I was lost. As most people know Bryan was tragically killed in a racing accident in August of 2016 before our wedding day which was obviously the hardest thing. Bryan finally proposed on Easter in 2016 after we’d been dating for a little over five years. “I went on one date with Bryan, it was actually a set up one of our mutual friends hooked us up. That boy was Ind圜ar driver Bryan Clauson, a Noblesville native who was a fan favorite and enjoyed success in multiple disciplines of motorsports. And then life happened and I woke up one day and wanted a change and went back to school for nursing and here I am trying out for Colts Cheerleaders something I have always wanted to do but never had the courage to do it.” I worked with USAC and Sprint Car and Midget teams. A boy kind of helped that career in motorsports so kind of followed a boy, a race car driver, but I forged my own path in motorsports.” Lauren explained. “I came to Indiana for a career in motorsports. Her focus shifted to a competitive career in racing as well as a relationship. So I have always loved dancing, always loved performing.” I was a captain my junior and senior year. I danced until I was 18 years old through high school. I started dancing at two and a half at my hometown studio in Illinois and all my best friends were at dance. ![]() “Being around racing working in motorsports when my driver would win or when my team would win it was that level of excitement like being in front of people and that adrenaline rush you get. “I really just missed the excitement you get right before a performance,” the rookie hopeful said. ![]() Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.Ī near-lifelong dedication to dance and performing took a backseat when Lauren Stewart pursued a career in motorsports marketing.
