DYSTANY SPURLOCK Continues Historic NASCAR Journey at Richmond Home Track

August 15, 2026

• DYSTANY SPURLOCK qualified 34th for her second Truck Series start at hometown Richmond Raceway, finishing 35th after battling loose handling and brake issues while absorbing lessons from veterans like Shane van Gisbergen during live competition.
• The 34-year-old made history as NASCAR’s first Black woman driver at Dover, then backed it up at Richmond despite spinning twice in practice. She previously dominated motorcycle drag racing, winning DME Racing Real Street at 178 mph.
• SPURLOCK’s 2026 season includes seven ARCA starts with four top-15s, highlighted by a seventh-place debut at historic Hickory Motor Speedway. Plans call for full ARCA schedule with MBM Motorsports plus part-time Truck Series in 2027.
• From driving 18-wheelers to fund her racing dreams, SPURLOCK now studies racing lines behind leaders while laps down, using real-time competition as her classroom with backing from Detroit-based Foxxtecca media company.
