SARAH MONTGOMERY, ALANA CARTER & ASHLEY FREIBERG Make WRL History at Utah

October 2, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

SARAH MONTGOMERY, ALANA CARTER, and ASHLEY FREIBERG delivered a breakthrough moment for women’s motorsport, claiming AE Victory Racing’s first-ever World Racing League victory and the first all-female win in the competitive GTO class at Utah Motorsports Campus. The historic achievement came after Saturday’s mechanical setback forced an early retirement, proving that this team knows how to bounce back when it matters most.
The victory showcased genuine racing craft, not just symbolic progress. FREIBERG qualified third and led the charge from fifth on Sunday’s grid, CARTER maintained crucial momentum in the middle stint, and MONTGOMERY closed out the win with a determined drive that kept them just 16 seconds behind the original leader. When the winning BMW got disqualified in tech inspection, we witnessed a team that had earned their moment through pure pace and strategy.
Founded by GT World Challenge winner Erin Vogel in 2023, AE Victory Racing represents the kind of woman-led infrastructure that creates real opportunities rather than token gestures. FREIBERG joined mid-season after budget constraints ended her Porsche Carrera Cup campaign, while CARTER and MONTGOMERY continue developing as the team builds toward Watkins Glen, proving that sustainable women’s programs can deliver both results and genuine career advancement.
