People have kind of a conception that females are slower than men, which, you know, is certainly not true.

Kylie's full bio:

(last updated 2026-01-27

Kylie Glick is a 15-year-old late model race car driver from Lincoln, California, who’s making serious noise as a fourth-generation racer and the first female in her family to compete at this level.

EARLY YEARS

Born on June 7, Kylie grew up in Northern California’s Placer County, where racing isn’t just a hobby—it’s the family business. Her great-grandfather Ray Glick was tearing up the track back in the 1950s when All American Speedway in Roseville was still a dirt quarter-mile oval. Several other male relatives followed in his tire tracks over the decades, making Kylie the youngest—and first woman—to carry on the tradition.

At 10 years old, she got her start racing quarter midgets, those tiny open-wheel cars that look like they belong in a toy aisle but drive like the real thing. It was her entry point into a world she’d been watching from the sidelines her whole life. And unlike a lot of kids who dabble and move on, Kylie stuck with it—hard.

OTHER INTERESTS

When she’s not strapped into a race car, Kylie’s in the gym. She lifts weights and participates in a wrestling club to build strength and endurance—because driving a late model isn’t just about speed, it’s about controlling a machine that’s actively trying to kill you for 100 laps straight. Wrestling teaches her grip strength, balance, and how to stay calm under pressure, all of which translate directly to the cockpit.

She’s also committed to giving back. Instead of asking for birthday gifts when she turned 15, Kylie launched a fundraiser for Victory Junction, a camp for children with chronic medical conditions and serious illnesses. Her goal was to raise $1,500 during the month of June, with every $15 donation making a tangible difference. It’s the kind of move that shows she gets it—racing is a privilege, and using that platform matters.

EARLY SUCCESS

At 13, Kylie made the leap to junior late models and joined forces with Naake-Klauer Motorsports, one of the premier racing teams on the West Coast. It was a big deal—not just because of her age, but because she was stepping into a male-dominated space where nobody believed a girl could actually compete. She proved them wrong immediately.

That same year, she received a brand-new race car as a 13th birthday surprise, a moment captured on video that shows her genuine shock and excitement. It wasn’t just a gift—it was a statement of intent from her family and team. They were all in.

In 2023, at just 13 years old, Kylie became the fourth generation of Glick family race car drivers to compete at All American Speedway. She honored that legacy by finishing second place in her debut. More importantly, she became the first female in that four-generation line to race there—a historic moment for the family and the track.

By the time she was 14, Kylie had already snagged both the Junior Late Model Championship and Rookie of the Year honors at NASCAR-sanctioned All American Speedway. She wasn’t just participating—she was winning. And she was doing it before she was old enough to get a driver’s license on public roads, which is the kind of irony that makes for great TV.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2023: Finished 2nd place in debut at All American Speedway, becoming the first female in four generations of Glick family racers to compete there[1].
2024: Won both the Junior Late Model Championship and Rookie of the Year at NASCAR-sanctioned All American Speedway[2].
2025: Named a Hoosier Hero by Hoosier Racing Tires, an honor established to celebrate individuals who demonstrate passion, pride, and success in the racing industry[3].

INSPIRATIONS

Kylie’s biggest inspiration is her family—four generations of racers who paved the way for her to get behind the wheel. Her great-grandfather Ray Glick and other male relatives raced at All American Speedway decades before she was born, and their legacy is something she carries with her every time she straps into the car. Being the first female in the family to race at that level isn’t lost on her; it’s fuel.

She’s also motivated by the idea of breaking barriers for other young women in motorsports. Kylie knows what it’s like to walk into a garage and be underestimated because of her age and gender. She’s using her platform to show other girls that they belong in this space, too—and that talent and hard work matter more than assumptions.

REPUTATION

Kylie is quickly earning a reputation as one of the top young talents on the West Coast, and she’s doing it with a level of maturity and focus that’s unusual for someone her age. She’s known for being aggressive on the track but smart—she picks her moments, doesn’t crash, and finishes races. That combination of speed and consistency is what wins championships.

Off the track, she’s building a brand. She has her own official website, merchandise, and sponsorship opportunities. She’s active on YouTube, where she shares behind-the-scenes footage, race highlights, and personal updates. She understands that modern racing careers aren’t just built on lap times—they’re built on storytelling, fan engagement, and visibility. And she’s doing all of it while still being too young to drive on public roads, which is both impressive and slightly ridiculous.

Her sponsors include Caliber Collision, 51Fifty LTM, and Mission Foods, companies that recognize her potential and are willing to invest in a teenager who’s already proving she can deliver results. That kind of backing doesn’t come easy, especially for young female drivers, but Kylie’s earned it.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Kylie’s ultimate goal is to become a NASCAR Cup Series driver, and she’s not shy about saying it. She’s already competing in junior late models with an eye on moving up through the ranks—ARCA, Truck Series, Xfinity, and eventually Cup. It’s a long road, but she’s got the talent, the team, the family support, and the drive to make it happen.

In 2024, she committed to a full junior late model season at Madera Speedway and All American Speedway, with championship contention in her sights. She’s continuing to race in 2025 and beyond, building her resume one lap at a time. She’s also continuing her work with Naake-Klauer Motorsports, a partnership that’s proven to be a winning combination.

Beyond racing, she wants to inspire the next generation of female drivers. She’s already participating in initiatives like “She Drives Change,” a project that highlights women breaking barriers in motorsports. Kylie knows that visibility matters, and she’s committed to using her platform to show young girls that they can race, too.
