FULL BIO: Kaylee Bryson
Kaylee Bryson is a groundbreaking American racing driver who has shattered barriers in motorsports, becoming the first woman to win a USAC National Series feature race and earning Rookie of the Year honors with USAC.
EARLY YEARS
Born on March 11, 2001, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Kaylee began racing go-karts at just nine years old at the 3D Raceway. What started as a weekend hobby quickly evolved into serious competition, with her family traveling across states to face tougher opponents. To accommodate her growing racing schedule, she transitioned to online education after her sophomore year of high school.
EARLY SUCCESS
In 2015, Bryson won the Micro Sprint Golden Driller at the Tulsa Shootout, becoming only the second female driver to achieve this prestigious victory. By 2019, she had secured a win in the POWRi Outlaw Micro Sprint Series at I-44 Speedway in Oklahoma City and made her transition to national midget car racing with the Toyota-powered Dave Mac Motorsports team. Her career accelerated after joining Keith Kunz Motorsports in January 2020, where she achieved multiple top-three podium finishes in national midget car feature events.

REPUTATION
Bryson has established herself as a versatile competitor who excels in both dirt and pavement racing disciplines. Her historic USAC victory at Belleville High Banks cemented her status as a trailblazer in American motorsports. Competing with respected teams like Abacus Racing in prestigious events such as the Driven2SaveLives BC39 has further elevated her profile in the racing community. Her determination to master multiple racing formats has earned her recognition as one of the most promising female talents in racing today.

She has expressed interest in competing in NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA, and World of Outlaps, highlighting her versatility and broad aspirations. Her current focus on gaining experience in both the Trans-Am Series and USAC Silver Crown Series serves as strategic preparation for these future opportunities, with the ultimate goal of securing a competitive seat in either IndyCar or NASCAR.
