Alli Owens hoping to make her mark in stock cars
Caught in the Catchfence™
Twenty-year-old Alli Owens hopes her name doesn’t appear on that list.
“What I have seen in the past is the drivers didn’t let racing consume them,” said Owens, who is driving on the ARCA Series. “You can’t be on the fence. You got to be full force.
“I’m in a sport where there are few women to be found. So you have to be determined and let everyone know you are here to stay and advance.”
Owens is definitely committed and isn’t lacking confidence when competing against the boys, which she has done for most of her life.
“It was mud puddles and rocks for me,” Owens said. “Anything the boys wanted to do, I wanted to do.”
After attending Lyn St. James Academy driver development program, she moved up to racing Mini Stocks and Late Models at New Smyrna Speedway in Daytona Beach.
