FULL BIO: Danica Dart
Danica Dart is a promising young motorsports racer who began her journey at age six and has quickly progressed through various racing categories to compete in the ARCA Menards Series West.
EARLY YEARS
Born on August 3, 2007, in Washington state, Danica was introduced to motorsports by her father, Paul Dart, who had racing experience himself. The family lived in North Dakota for a time, where Paul worked in the oil fields and Danica began racing quarter-midgets at age six. Her father would drive her to tracks in Montana after work, often traveling seven hours for competitions.
EARLY SUCCESS
After moving back to Washington, Dart continued her racing development, transitioning from quarter-midgets to Bandoleros and eventually to Late Models. Her natural ability with car control and throttle control was evident from an early age, skills that her family nurtured through various racing activities, including renting go-karts on dirt during winter months. In 2021, she achieved a significant milestone by winning the late model championship at Stateline Speedway in Idaho.
