GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • DYSTANY SPURLOCK made history in 2026 as the first Black woman to compete in a NASCAR national touring series and the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 66 for MBM Motorsports.
  • Without OEM backing, a driver coach, or wind tunnel access, SPURLOCK self-coached using race film and only recently acquired a simulator — yet posted three top-15s in five ARCA starts.
  • SPURLOCK pulls no punches on NASCAR’s resource gap: better-funded teams get simulators, engineers, and R&D that create performance advantages far beyond raw driver talent.
  • Her historic rookie campaign earned SPURLOCK a step up: a 17-race 2027 schedule with Alpha Prime Racing, piloting the No. 44 Ford Mustang.

UPCOMING:

  • Dystany Spurlock — 17-race ARCA/NASCAR schedule with Alpha Prime Racing, No. 44 Ford Mustang (season start date not stated, found Oct 30, 2026)
