GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRENNA SCHUBERT emerged victorious from AE Victory Racing’s intensive two-day Female Driver Shootout at Inde Motorsports Ranch, beating four other finalists selected from 43 global applications. The comprehensive evaluation went far beyond lap times, testing drivers on consistency, adaptability, communication skills, and team compatibility through track sessions, data analysis, and mindset workshops.
  • The shootout featured an impressive finalist field including REAGAN THOMAS, SIENA ASHBY, EMY KISSICK, FLAME AIRIKKALA, and winner SCHUBERT, all competing on the technically demanding 2.75-mile, 21-corner Arizona circuit. What sets this program apart is the coaching lineup – team owner ERIN VOGEL alongside drivers SARAH MONTGOMERY, ASHLEY FREIBERG, LAURA HAYES, and HANNAH GRISHAM provided hands-on mentorship in the Toyota Supra GT4.
  • SCHUBERT’s karting background spans from 2009 through 2022 in STARS Championship Series and Northeast Karting Challenge, plus she already proved herself by winning the 2023 PT Autosport Aspiring Driver Shootout. Her transition to cars through Skip Barber Racing School and multiple development programs positioned her perfectly for this opportunity, and Vogel praised her consistency, coachability, and team-first mindset as deciding factors.

  • AE Victory Racing 2026 season debut
  • Brenna Schubert development program begins
