TAYLOR REIMER Fights Back to Fourth After Controversial Springfield Penalty

August 24, 2026

• TAYLOR REIMER recovered from 15th to fourth at Springfield after a disputed restart penalty dropped her from second. She argued visibility issues on the dusty dirt oval made the restart line nearly impossible to see from the cockpit.
• MIA LOVELL, 19, impressed in her first full ARCA West season with a career-best second at Sonoma. The multi-disciplined racer also competes in Pro Late Model events, demonstrating versatility across pavement and different car types.
• JADE AVEDISIAN made history as the first woman to win a CARS Pro Late Model Tour race at Jacksonville in 2025. Her dirt-midget background translated to strong ARCA starts, proving crossover potential from sprint car racing.
• LANIE BUICE secured ARCA poles and top finishes while splitting time in CARS Tour Late Model Stock competition. Despite grassroots success by multiple women, none hold full-time national NASCAR series rides, highlighting the sponsorship gap.
