GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • TAYLOR REIM just scored a major development deal with Toyota Racing’s Performance Racing Group for the 2026 ARCA season, and honestly, it’s about time. The first woman ever to win an Xtreme Outlaw National Midgets race has been grinding it out part-time in the No. 77 Chevrolet for Pinnacle Racing Group, and now she’s got the backing to really show what she can do.
  • Mark Martin – you know, the guy who should have won a Cup championship but didn’t – is genuinely excited about watching REIM compete next season. When a legend like Martin says “I predict some will become big stars” about the ARCA field, we should probably pay attention. The man knows talent when he sees it.
  • The 2026 ARCA schedule is stacked with opportunities for REIM to shine, opening at Daytona and hitting major tracks like Talladega, Kansas, and Michigan. With 13 races on Fox Sports 1 and the Daytona opener on big FOX, she’ll have the visibility to prove the doubters wrong and show that her midget racing success wasn’t a fluke.

UPCOMING:

  • 2026 ARCA Daytona 200 – Season Opener
  • ARCA return to Pocono Raceway – June 2026
