TATIANA CALDERÓN Battles From 22nd to Ninth in First-Ever Oval Start

August 6, 2026

• TATIANA CALDERÓN recovered 13 positions to finish ninth at Orlando Moura after starting 22nd, overcoming brake failures, gearbox issues, and starter motor problems in her first-ever oval race in NASCAR Brasil Series competition.
• The Colombian adapted to the unique three-turn oval configuration during the championship’s inaugural endurance night race, extracting maximum performance from an SG28 Racing machine severely compromised by reduced top speed—critical on ovals.
• CALDERÓN arrived in Cuiabá with momentum from Velocitta, where she secured back-to-back Challenge class podiums and her season-best sixth overall finish, demonstrating her rapid adaptation to stock car racing disciplines.
• Despite mounting reliability issues throughout the season, the SG28 by Pole Motorsport driver continues expanding her skillset across diverse circuits, with the team targeting mechanical fixes before the Londrina round on August 23.
