GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • QUINN DAVIS, 17, secured Dollywood sponsorship through persistent LinkedIn outreach to company president Eugene Naughton, landing backing personally approved by Dolly Parton for Bristol’s Bush’s Best 200 ARCA East finale.
  • DAVIS made history as sixth woman to post top-five finish in ARCA Menards Series East during debut season with City Garage Motorsports’ all-female driver lineup aboard No. 85 Ford.
  • Bristol appearance fulfills 12-year dream for DAVIS, who first set sights on racing NASCAR’s notoriously tough half-mile at age five, now using platform to inspire young female athletes.
  • Custom Dollywood firesuit will be auctioned post-race to benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, with proceeds supporting literacy program as DAVIS aims for eventual NASCAR Cup Series promotion.
