"I am a 23-year-old driver seeking experience and success in the auto racing industry."My father originally introduced me to racing when I was four years old. He strapped me into an asphalt go-kart and explained how it works. I learned how to drive it and enjoyed every race I participated in. The rush became an addiction very quickly. I started racing competitively when I was five years old. I raced kid karts until I was old enough to move on to cadet karts with larger chassis and engines.
In 2020, I spent my time racing around the Northern United States, gathering fresh experience. For the first time, I bought a race car for myself and raced it in North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Iowa for my first IMCA Super Nationals. I brought it to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where I was a top competitor until my luck ran out. 2020 was the year I got to race by myself, which increased my learning because I had to do the racing and setup on my own.
In 2021 I ran the sport mod around Iowa by myself and learning more than I ever have. Because I was alone in a new place, racing with new people and learning new things drove me to learn more. At the conclusion of the year, I also raced a stock car for the first time and had a great experience, earning hard-charger both nights.
The 2022 season begun with me in a midget at the Chili Bowl and a micro sprint in Arizona- learning new forms of dirt racing. I raced the stock car and sport mod around the state of Iowa, where I recently chose to call "home" and secure my real estate sales license (TaylorKuehlRealEstate.com). At the IMCA Super Nationals I rendered great results in the sport mod. I started on the front row of the Big Dance and achieved my goal in earning a top 5 finish. The difficulties I overcame taught me invaluable skills that I may use in the future of my racing career.
In 2023, I raced around the Midwest, taking part in both big events and local races. I hired a team member to assist me at the race shop, track, and when traveling. This dispersed the workload and allowed me to concentrate on winning each race. We secured 7 feature wins, a series championship, and new relationships by working together. I'm excited to learn and grow more in the coming season, with similar travel plans, as well as to repay those who have helped me.
I don’t want to be the best woman driver- I want to be the best driver."
