GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRENNA SCHUBERT emerged victorious from AE Victory Racing’s Female Driver Shootout, earning a Development Driver role for 2026 after competing against four other finalists at Arizona’s Inde Motorsports Ranch. The comprehensive two-day evaluation went beyond lap times, testing drivers on consistency, adaptability, communication, and team chemistry—proving that modern racing development recognizes the full package matters.
  • The competition drew 43 applications worldwide, with finalists REAGAN THOMAS, SIENA ASHBY, EMY KISSICK, FLAME AIRIKKALA, and SCHUBERT facing off on the technically demanding 2.75-mile, 21-corner circuit. Team owner Erin Vogel’s evaluation process combined track sessions with data analysis, media training, and mindset workshops, creating a holistic assessment that any serious racing program should adopt.
  • SCHUBERT’s karting background from 2009 through 2022 in STARS Championship and Northeast Karting Challenge, plus her 2023 PT Autosport Aspiring Driver Shootout victory, built the foundation for this breakthrough. Her transition from karts to cars through Skip Barber Racing School and multiple development programs shows the methodical approach that separates serious contenders from weekend warriors.
