Brittney Zamora is a second-generation American stock car racing driver from Kennewick, Washington, who’s been making history and breaking barriers since she was barely old enough to see over the steering wheel.

EARLY YEARS

Born April 27, 1999, Brittney Zamora didn’t exactly ease into the racing world—she was thrown into it at four days old when her father, already a racer himself, took her to the track as a newborn. By age four, she was competing in go-karts, because apparently sitting still wasn’t her thing. Racing was the family business, and Zamora grew up with motor oil in her veins and her dad calling the shots. “When we get to the track, we’re not so much father and daughter anymore,” her father explained. “It’s a little bit of a different role. I’m the crew chief, she’s the driver.” That dynamic—equal parts support system and professional partnership—became the foundation of her career. She graduated from go-karts to mini-stock cars as she grew, steadily working her way up through the ranks with the kind of focus that suggested she wasn’t just along for the ride—she was planning to win it.

OTHER INTERESTS

When she’s not chasing checkered flags, Zamora is chasing something else entirely: homes for shelter dogs. In 2020, she founded Pit Road Pals, an organization dedicated to helping shelter dogs find forever families. Owning rescue dogs herself, she wanted to use her racing platform to advocate for animals who couldn’t speak for themselves. It’s the kind of off-track project that shows there’s more to her than fast laps and tire smoke—though she’d probably argue the dogs are just as deserving of a win as she is.

EARLY SUCCESS

Zamora’s breakthrough came in 2017 and 2018 when she dominated the Northwest Super Late Model Series. She didn’t just compete—she rewrote the rulebook, becoming the first female driver to win both a race and a championship in the series. In 2018, she claimed her second consecutive championship, cementing her reputation as a serious contender and not just a feel-good story. That same year, she was honored with the NASCAR Wendell Scott Trailblazer Award, a nod to her role in pushing the sport forward for women and underrepresented drivers. She was invited to NASCAR’s 2019 Drive for Diversity combine, one of just 12 drivers selected, and in 2019, she joined Bill McAnally Racing to compete in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West (now ARCA Menards Series West). Driving the No. 99 ENEOS/NAPA Filters Toyota Camry, she finished fifth in the standings with five top-five finishes and eight top-10s through 12 races—not bad for a 20-year-old learning the ropes at tracks she’d never seen before.

INSPIRATIONS

While specific inspirations aren’t heavily documented, Zamora has been cited alongside drivers like Danica Patrick and Hailie Deegan—racers she competed against in California—as role models for the next generation of women in motorsports. Her father remains her most consistent influence, serving not just as crew chief but as the person who brought her into racing and continues to guide her career.

REPUTATION

Zamora has built a reputation as a driver who doesn’t just show up—she delivers. Her win at Nashville Fairgrounds wasn’t a fluke; it was the result of years of grinding through different series, learning different cars, and refusing to be defined by her gender. She’s known for being composed under pressure, strategic on the track, and relentless in her pursuit of results. The fact that she’s also using her platform to advocate for shelter animals adds a layer of authenticity that resonates beyond the racing community. She’s not here to be a novelty—she’s here to win, and she’s proven she can do it at some of the most historic tracks in the country.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
