Katie Vernola

Model Appreciation

Born on October 21, 1991, Katie Vernola’s journey began like a high-speed dream in Victorville, California. Even while in high school, she was booking modeling gigs, and soon after turning 18, she reached a major milestone—being selected by Hugh Hefner himself as the centerfold for Miss June 2010. This achievement made her the youngest Playmate featured in Playboy at the time, launching her into the spotlight with print publications and even a few acting opportunities. But Katie’s ambitions went far beyond posing for the camera; she had a true passion for something a little more rugged—off-road racing.

Katie’s love for off-roading took center stage as soon as she had the funds to fuel her dream. She bought her first Polaris RZR 900 and immediately turned it into a racing machine, ready to compete in the Lucas Oil Regional series. It wasn’t just about fun in the dirt; she was breaking boundaries as one of the few women in her racing class, determined to make her mark. 

Fast forward a few years, and Katie’s off-roading passion has only grown—she now races a Prolite in the Lucas Oil Championship Off-Road Series, participates in long-distance UTV events, and runs her own shop building and prepping race vehicles. Racing isn't just a hobby; it’s her lifestyle.

Beyond the track, Katie’s commitment to excellence is evident in everything she does. She spends her days building race vehicles and pushing herself physically to stay at peak performance.
