Alex Taylor is a groundbreaking force in drag racing who has shattered records and expectations, becoming one of the most influential female racers in motorsports today with achievements spanning from HOT ROD Drag Week dominance to entering the prestigious Bonneville 200 MPH Club.

EARLY YEARS

Born in Arkansas, USA, in 1997, Alex grew up immersed in the world of motorsports. Her father, Eddie Taylor, an avid racer originally from Agawam, Massachusetts, became her greatest influence and mentor. As the oldest of five children, she was surrounded by a family that breathed racing, with her mother Lynda providing unwavering support at events. At just 11 years old in 2008, Alex experienced her first time behind the wheel of a race car when her father introduced her to quarter midget stock cars, sparking what would become a remarkable career.

EARLY SUCCESS

Taylor’s racing journey began in earnest when she made history as the youngest competitor ever in HOT ROD Drag Week at age 16 in September 2013. This bold entry into one of drag racing’s most demanding competitions showcased her natural talent and determination as she posted a respectable 12.0936-second average in the Daily Driver category. By the following year, she had dramatically improved her performance, averaging 9.1212 seconds at the 2014 HOT ROD Drag Week and finishing sixth in the Street Race Small Block – Power Adder class with a personal best of 9.06 seconds.

REPUTATION

Alex has established herself as one of drag racing’s most respected competitors, known for her consistent performance and technical knowledge. Her progression from a teenager posting 12-second passes to a powerhouse delivering 6-second runs demonstrates both her driving skill and mechanical understanding. The racing community particularly admires her ability to compete in grueling events like Drag Week, which demands not just speed but reliability and resourcefulness. Her achievement of entering the Bonneville 200 MPH Club—an exclusive group of high-speed pioneers—further cemented her reputation as a versatile and fearless competitor who continuously pushes boundaries in motorsports.
