Taylor Reimer

Taylor Reimer is a groundbreaking motorsports competitor who became the first woman to win a National Midget feature race in 2022, breaking barriers in a predominantly male sport while balancing racing with academic excellence.

EARLY YEARS

Born on December 2, 1999, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Taylor was introduced to racing at just six years old when her father Curt put her in her first go-kart. Her mother Juliana initially had reservations about racing but quickly became supportive after seeing her daughter’s natural talent and enthusiasm. By 2005, she was competing in 50cc go-karts at the Tulsa Kart Club, beginning a journey that would establish her as one of the sport’s rising stars.

EARLY SUCCESS

Taylor’s racing prowess became evident early, earning her a track championship by age 8. As she progressed to Junior Sprints and Restricted Winged Micros at Port City Raceway, she collected numerous victories and became the track’s winningest female driver. In 2011, she demonstrated her exceptional talent by placing second at the prestigious Tulsa Shootout, a significant achievement that foreshadowed her future success in higher levels of competition.
