FULL BIO: Mariah Boudrieau
Mariah Boudrieau is a 24-year-old motorsports driver from Colorado Springs who represents the third generation of her racing family, making waves in male-dominated series while advocating for female equality in motorsports.
EARLY YEARS
Growing up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Mariah was practically born with motor oil in her veins as part of a third-generation racing family. At just 11 years old, she strapped into her first quarter midget and never looked back. The mountain air and racing culture of Colorado provided the perfect backdrop for a girl who would refuse to let gender define her limits on the track.
OTHER INTERESTS
Beyond the roar of engines, Mariah channels her passion for equality into academics at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, where she majors in Political Science with a minor in Women’s and Ethnic Studies. Her educational pursuits perfectly complement her mission to break barriers in motorsports, giving her the intellectual framework to articulate what many female drivers experience but struggle to express. She actively educates others about her career path as a female race driver, turning every conversation into an opportunity to shift perceptions.
EARLY SUCCESS
Mariah’s quarter midget career proved she had the talent to match her determination, earning her two series championships before she was old enough to drive on public roads. Her transition to late models marked a significant step up in competition, culminating in her first late model feature win at Colorado National Speedway—a victory that counted as a NASCAR Weekly Series win. The win wasn’t just a checkered flag; it was a statement that this Colorado Springs native belonged among the sport’s elite, regardless of what chromosomes she carried.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2021: Made ARCA Menards Series West debut at Colorado National Speedway
- 2024: Won first late model feature at Colorado National Speedway (NASCAR Weekly Series win)
- Multiple years: Two-time quarter midget series champion
- Previous year: First female to win ‘Rookie of the Year’ in Super Stock division at Colorado National Speedway
INSPIRATIONS
While Danica Patrick blazed trails that made Mariah’s journey possible, her perspective on being a female driver reflects a more nuanced understanding of what it means to compete in a male-dominated sport. Her third-generation racing family provided the foundation and support system that many female drivers lack, creating an environment where her talent could flourish without the additional burden of family skepticism.
REPUTATION
Mariah has built a reputation as a driver who lets her performance do the talking while using her platform to advocate for change. Her approach balances fierce competitiveness with thoughtful advocacy, understanding that every lap she completes helps pave the way for the next generation of female drivers. She emphasizes the need to prove herself as a capable driver among male competitors, refusing to accept participation trophies while demanding equal opportunity to compete for real ones.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Currently driving for Performance P-1 Motorsports with backing from All Phase Construction and multiple associate sponsors, Mariah is scheduled to compete in the ARCA Menards Series West at Colorado National Speedway in 2025. Her immediate focus remains on climbing the NASCAR ladder while continuing her advocacy work for female equality in motorsports, proving that drivers can be both competitive and socially conscious without compromising either mission.
