GRRL! SUMMARY:
- NATALIE DECKER is making history as one of the rare women to compete in NASCAR after becoming a mother, returning to the track just months after giving birth to her first child in February. She’ll pilot the No. 92 DGM Racing Chevrolet with Wawa sponsorship at Talladega, a track where she’s consistently delivered her strongest performances across multiple NASCAR series.
- The superspeedway specialist has proven she belongs on NASCAR’s biggest stages, with her 18th-place finish and seven laps led in this year’s Daytona season-opener standing as her best Xfinity Series result. Even more impressive was her fifth-place finish in the 2020 Truck Series opener at Daytona – the highest finish ever recorded by a woman in NASCAR Truck Series competition.
- With 75 combined starts across NASCAR’s top three touring series and ARCA, DECKER has built a solid foundation of superspeedway expertise, including a 2018 ARCA pole at Daytona and a seventh-place championship finish that same year. Her return represents not just a personal milestone, but another step forward for women balancing elite motorsports careers with motherhood.
UPCOMING:
- Talladega Superspeedway Xfinity Series Race
