Hailey Bland is a bandolero racer who made history at Prince Edward Island’s Oyster Bed Speedway by leading the track’s first-ever all-female podium while competing in one of Canada’s most spirited grassroots racing scenes.
EARLY YEARS
Details about Bland’s early life, family background, and initial introduction to motorsports remain undocumented in available sources. What is known begins on the track itself, where her talent would soon speak louder than any origin story.
OTHER INTERESTS
Information about Bland’s interests outside racing has not been publicly documented.
EARLY SUCCESS
Bland’s introduction to Oyster Bed Speedway came during Labour Day weekend at the Tim’s Corner Motorsports September event, where she joined 16 other bandolero drivers for her first taste of PEI’s premier oval[2]. The rookie showing proved to be just a warm-up. Racing the no. 27 Dartmouth Metals-The Laker News-sponsored bandolero, she quickly found her footing in the competitive field that included established drivers like Simon Doyle and Tyler Gauthier[1][3]. Her early performances delivered top-five finishes in race one and a podium in the Moore Well Drilling Outlaw 20-Lap Feature during the PiccottCare 100 event, where she skillfully avoided damage in a crash involving Cole Doyle’s no. 12 car[1]. The September Shootout saw Bland claim third overall after combining her two feature finishes, trailing only Doyle and the event winner—a remarkable debut that announced her as a driver to watch[1].
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- Led the first-ever all-female podium in bandolero feature racing at Oyster Bed Speedway, driving the no. 27 Dartmouth Metals-The Laker News-sponsored car[3].
- Finished third overall in the September Shootout at Oyster Bed Speedway after combining results from two feature races[1].
- Secured top-five finish in the Moore Well Drilling Outlaw 20-Lap Feature during the PiccottCare 100 event, navigating through on-track incidents to reach the podium[1].
- Competed in first bandolero race at Oyster Bed Speedway during Tim’s Corner Motorsports September event on Labour Day weekend among a field of 17 drivers[2].
INSPIRATIONS
No information about Bland’s racing inspirations, mentors, or influences has been documented in available sources.
REPUTATION
Bland earned recognition not just for her driving ability but for what her success represented. The all-female podium she led became a watershed moment for Oyster Bed Speedway, celebrated by local media as a “girl power” milestone that proved women could compete—and win—in what has traditionally been a male-dominated sport[3]. Her performances against seasoned competitors demonstrated she belonged in the field on merit alone, earning podium positions and top-five finishes in a competitive bandolero division where experience typically reigns[1]. The combination of skill and significance made her early career particularly noteworthy in the PEI racing community, where breaking barriers and posting results carried equal weight.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Current team affiliations, sponsorship arrangements beyond the Dartmouth Metals-The Laker News partnership, and racing plans for 2025 and beyond have not been publicly disclosed.
