DYSTANY SPURLOCK’s Message for Women and People of Color in NASCAR

October 30, 2026

• DYSTANY SPURLOCK made history in 2026 as the first Black woman to race in any of NASCAR’s three national touring series and the ARCA Menards Series, posting multiple top-15 finishes across 12 races.
• The 34-year-old’s motorsport roots run deep — her grandfather introduced her to NASCAR on TV and let her ride along on his lawnmower, sparking a passion that took 17 years to reach this level.
• SPURLOCK’s resume spans Formula 4, NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle, and motorcycle drag racing before breaking through in NASCAR, underlining her versatility across disciplines.
• Her historic 2026 campaign has been rewarded with a 17-race 2027 schedule, with SPURLOCK determined to build pathways for women and people of color across all NASCAR roles — not just driving.
• SPURLOCK brushes off online negativity, focusing on fans — including children who call her a superhero — and her goal of creating access programs that bring new communities into motorsport.
