TATIANA CALDERÓN Makes History As First Woman To Win NASCAR Brasil Race

September 23, 2026

• TATIANA CALDERÓN overcame mechanical issues in practice to charge from 15th to fourth in race one, then capitalized on a leader’s crash to win race two by 0.527 seconds over Felipe Malinowski at Curvelo.
• The 33-year-old Bogotá native became NASCAR Brasil’s first overall female winner, holding off Malinowski for 30 minutes after avoiding the leading duo’s crash and seizing first position mid-race.
• CALDERÓN’s résumé spans Formula 1 test duties with Alfa Romeo, IndyCar rides with AJ Foyt Racing, and Formula 2/3 campaigns—now adding historic NASCAR Brasil silverware to her international portfolio.
• No celebration break: CALDERÓN heads straight to GT Challenge of the Americas at Puebla with Nacent Racing on October 3-4, continuing her multi-series assault across North and South America.
