GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • DYSTANY SPURLOCK will become the first Black woman to compete in a NASCAR national series when she takes the green flag at Watkins Glen driving the No. 69 Toyota for MBM Motorsports/Garage 66.
  • SPURLOCK has earned her spot through legitimate development work, making multiple 2026 ARCA Menards Series starts including Kansas Speedway debut and competing at short tracks like Hickory and Rockingham.
  • The historic debut comes at one of NASCAR’s most demanding road courses where technical precision and braking matter as much as speed, making her first national start particularly challenging.
  • SPURLOCK brings substantial social media presence with over 100,000 Instagram followers, generating significant fan excitement and attention as NASCAR’s diversity initiatives translate into on-track results.
