GRRL! SUMMARY:

KAYLEE BRYSON is breaking new ground yet again, this time making her national stock car debut in the ARCA Menards Series at Madison International Speedway on August 22. The 24-year-old from Oklahoma has already shattered barriers as the first woman to make the A-main at Chili Bowl Nationals in 2022 and win a USAC Silver Crown feature in 2023. Her unconventional path from dirt racing purist to multi-discipline competitor shows exactly how we build sustainable careers in this sport.
What sets BRYSON apart isn’t just her trophy case – it’s her strategic approach to career building. She’s leveraged social media presence and diverse racing experience across open-wheel, Trans Am road racing, and now stock cars to create opportunities that traditional paths might not offer. Her 2024 Trans Am SGT championship proves she can adapt quickly to new disciplines, while her previous Silver Crown experience at Madison gives her a crucial advantage heading into unfamiliar ARCA territory.
BRYSON’s long-term vision mirrors Kyle Larson’s multi-series approach, aiming to compete at NASCAR’s top levels while maintaining her dirt racing roots. She’s building exactly the kind of diversified skill set that modern motorsports demands, proving that women don’t need to follow traditional development paths to reach elite levels. Her partnership with Cook Racing Technologies for this ARCA debut represents the kind of genuine team relationships that can accelerate careers when talent meets opportunity.
