GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • TAYLOR REIMER’s superspeedway debut at Daytona ended in frustration after electrical issues knocked her from a promising top-10 position to 30th place, but she used the setback to deliver a powerful message about being a role model for young women in racing. The 26-year-old emphasized that earning respect comes through on-track performance, not perfection, as she works toward a future where female drivers are expected, not exceptional.
  • The Oklahoma native brings serious credentials to her part-time ARCA schedule with Pinnacle Racing Group, holding the record for most wins by any woman at Port City Raceway and scoring her career-best third-place ARCA finish at Springfield in 2024. With six top-10s in six ARCA starts, REIMER proves she belongs in the conversation about rising talent.
  • REIMER’s commitment to doing things “the right way” extends beyond the track as she self-funds her racing through partnerships with BuzzBallz Cocktails and FRE Nicotine, acknowledging the sponsorship grind while promising to inspire young girls regardless of how far her own career advances. She’ll run five more races in the No. 77 Chevrolet this season, sharing the ride with teammates Tristan McKee and Lanie Buice at tracks including Talladega and Berlin Raceway.

UPCOMING:

  • Talladega Superspeedway ARCA Race
  • Berlin Raceway ARCA Event
  • Elko Speedway ARCA Race
