January 1, 1990

• AE Victory Racing’s all-women driver lineup delivered a championship-clinching performance at COTA, with SARAH MONTGOMERY leading strategic drives that secured P5 and P6 finishes across the weekend’s dual endurance races. Montgomery’s racecraft shined as she consistently jumped positions on opening laps and set the team’s fastest race pace, proving that when women get equal equipment and support, the results speak for themselves.
• Development driver ALANA CARTER capped off her breakthrough season by mastering the technical 20-corner COTA layout in her final race with the program, while ASHLEY FREIBERG’s setup work and pace-setting in practice showed the depth of talent this team has cultivated. The trio’s combined efforts landed AE Victory Racing third place in both Eastern and National WRL Championships – a remarkable achievement for any sophomore program, let alone one prioritizing women’s advancement.
• Team co-founder ERIN VOGEL’s 2026 Driver Shootout program doubled its applicants to 43 women from around the world, signaling that word is spreading about legitimate opportunities for female drivers to advance their careers. Vogel noted the increased experience level and international reach of applicants, proving that when you build it right and actually invest in women’s development, the talent pipeline responds enthusiastically.
