Jessica Combs[1] (July 27, 1980 – August 27, 2019)[2] was an American professional racer, television personality, and metal fabricator. Combs was co-host of the Spike TV show Xtreme 4x4 for more than 90 episodes from 2005 to 2009.[3] Other television shows she appeared on included Overhaulin', Mythbusters, The List: 1001 Car Things To Do Before You Die, All Girls Garage,[4] and Science Channel's How to Build... Everything in 2016.[5]

Combs died in August 2019 in a crash of a jet-powered high-speed race car in southeastern Oregon while attempting to set a land speed record.[6][7]

Biography

Combs was born in Rockerville, South Dakota,[8] on July 27, 1983,[2] the daughter of Jamie Combs and Nina Darrington.[9][10][11] The family moved to Piedmont, South Dakota, when she was two years old.[8] She had three siblings, Kelly Combs, Austin Darrington, Danielle Theis, and two step-siblings, Rebeka Hall and Arielle Hall. She graduated from Stevens High School in 1998.[8] A local publication in Rapid City reported that Combs' great-grandmother was Nina DeBow, a jazz pianist who raced Stanley Steamers.[12]

In 2004, Combs graduated from WyoTech in the Collision & Refinishing Core Program, as well as the Street Rod Fabrication and Custom Fabrication and High Performance Powertrain programs, all at the top of her class (she was briefly seen as a student of WyoTech during the sixth episode of the first season of Overhaulin). Following her graduation, Combs's first professional job came when the WyoTech marketing department hired her and another student to build a car from the ground up in six months to debut at the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association’s (SEMA) show.[3]

Combs hosted the television show Xtreme 4x4, a part of the Powerblock, for four years. Following a widely publicised accident, Combs announced in February 2008 that she would leave the show.

Combs was killed during a land speed record attempt as part of the North American Eagle Project on August 27, 2019, in the Alvord Desert, Oregon.[2]

From October 2011 to October 2014, Combs served as one of the hosts of All Girls Garage on Velocity. The basis of the show was women repairing and upgrading new and classic automobiles. In May 2012, Combs became a co-host with Chris Jacobs for the sixth season of Overhaulin's re-launch on the Velocity and Discovery channels. In 2018, Combs appeared on the short-lived Discovery channel panel show BREAK ROOM.
