Alli Owens is back — and this time, she’s got a story to tell.

In this powerful episode of The Also-Ran Broadcast, former NASCAR and ARCA driver Alli Owens opens up about walking away from racing, battling body image pressure, refusing to sell sex appeal, and the mental health struggles that nearly ended her career.

This isn’t a comeback driven by hype or headlines. It’s about purpose, faith, resilience, and returning to the sport on her own terms — not the industry’s.

Alli shares what women in motorsports still face behind closed doors, why progress has stalled, and why her return matters for the next generation.

If you’re looking for an honest conversation about comebacks, identity, mental health, and women in racing, this episode delivers.
