Show Personalities:

Colene Evans-Allen (Co-host): Colene is the daughter of retired Formula One Steward and roadcourse sedan racing Champion Ron Evans. She attended her first race when she was three weeks old, and the members of her family account for over 120 years of racing experience collectively. With thirty-three years involvement in motorsport in Canada, Colene has spent the last fourteen years as an official working at road course races, ice races, sprint car races, and rallies all over North America. She is a member Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs (CASC-OR) in Canada and the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) in the United States. Colene calls Southwestern Ontario home and regularly travels to officiate for the Tudor United Sports Car Championship, IndyCar, NASCAR, SCCA, and CASC-OR. Colene is a freelance writer for In The Pits Media on the CBS Sports Radio Network and the Wheels section of the Toronto Star, which is Canada's most read daily newspaper. Sue Mason (Co-Host):
Sue has been involved in SCCA racing as a member of the crew for Bob Steeles road racing efforts throughout the past couple of decades. Participating in the "Behind the Scenes" portion of the racing experience on the grassroots level, she believes that women can (and hopefully will) successfully be involved in a much bigger way in racing of all kinds. Daryl Curtis (Co-Host):
Daryl successfully started a Facebook group page "Women in Motorsports: Making Waves"
This is a page dedicated to the girls and women who have dedicated their lives, sharing a dream and earning their stripes in motorsports, whether as a professional working in motorsports, or dreaming to one day compete or work in this business. Why does this group exist? To show/educate people that there are a lot of women of all ages, at all levels, amateur and professional - working / competing in the world of
motorsports. This group is not only a source to enable and educate, but for women to share their experiences and to be celebrated and respected. It is also an opportunity to start enabling / affecting change - with attitudes, perceptions, and what is or is not acceptable. In addition, we would like to create an environment where women can share, seek help, or to just converse with other like-minded women in order to provide support and encouragement.

Podcast Producer at SPEED SPORT, Producer at Performance Motorsports Network and Executive Producer at Burning Rubber Radio

August 15, 2024 (Concord, NC) – This year’s recipient of the NASCAR Diversity Award and the ARCA Menards Series all-time leader in team victories, Venturini Motorsports embarks on re-writing NASCAR history when the team is represented by four women drivers at the Illinois State Fairground’s Springfield Dirt Mile on Sunday, August 18.

Setting a new benchmark for female drivers competing in a single event under the same team banner, Venturini Motorsports will feature Toni Breidinger, Amber Balcaen, Isabella Robusto and Taylor Reimer.

“Over the past couple of decades we’ve seen more women drivers making a positive impact on our sport,” said team owner Billy Venturini. “Although female drivers competing at this level is nothing new I’ve seen more and more talented women drivers coming up

the ranks the last few years. These women on our team are great role models for younger girls looking at our sport. This weekend will be special but honestly I don’t really look at it as gender specific – for us it’s just another day at the track with our drivers.”

Toni Breidinger, driver of the No.25 Sunoco Toyota, is a 24-year-old race car driver hailing from San Francisco. Breidinger has made fifty-seven career ARCA Menards Series starts, all with VMS, since 2018 and is in the midst of her first full season in 2024. With seven top-ten finishes in twelve starts in the year, Breidinger currently occupies the fifth spot in the ARCA Menards Series championship point standings.

Amber Balcaen, a Canadian driver from Winnipeg, Manitoba, also is competing for the ARCA Menards Series championship in 2024. The 32-year old driver of the No.22 Icon Direct Toyota has thirty-five career starts since 2022 and is currently sixth in the series standings.

Isabella Robusto, driver of the No.20 JBL Toyota, is a member of Toyota Racing Development’s TD2 program. Competing in selected events during the 2024 season, the 19-year-old from Fort Mill, South Carolina has impressed with three top-five and six top-ten finishes in eight starts across the ARCA Menards Series platform (National, East and West), including a pair of runner-up finishes at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway (East) and Irwindale Speedway (West).

Taylor Reimer, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, is set to make her season debut at Springfield. The 24-year-old driver will be making her second career start on Sunday driving the No.55 BuzzBallz Toyota. Reimer, who grew up racing on dirt, made her ARCA Menards Series debut with VMS in 2023 at Springfield and finished eighth.

Fielding multiple female drivers is not out of the norm for Venturini Motorsports. In 2018, the team set the record for the most female drivers from one team in a single race at Chicagoland Speedway with three: Breidinger, Natalie Decker, and Leilani Munter. The team is also known for pioneering the first all-female pit crew in NASCAR history. Known as the Ultra Blue Crew, the women were the primary crew featured in 1985, 1986 and the team’s first championship season in 1987.

Sunday’s historic race from Springfield will be broadcast live on FOX Sports 1 (FS1) starting at 2 p.m. ET. Live timing and scoring data and race audio will be available at ARCARacing.com.

Second only to their parents (one hopes), kids are influenced most by their mass-media heroes.

Such an awesome perspective with determination and drive!

Such an awesome perspective with determination and drive!

“Sorry about your bad night.”

Like most race teams, we hear this sometimes from our loving and well meaning supporters, and if it’s 2024 in our race shop, we’ve heard it more than we would like to. Grateful as we are for the kindness in the midst of tough results, I wanted to take a moment to share what God has taught me this season in the midst of unexpected twists and turns.

When I first came to Indy, I left behind available support and opportunities that were seemingly very promising in Knoxville. I felt God calling me to buy a one way flight to Indianapolis and to not come home until I had an opportunity or a plan. Two weeks later, I came home with a plan, packed up my belongings, and left the only home I’d ever known.

I went door to door asking to do anything for race teams - mop the floors, wash racecars, etc., and while it took a while, I finally scored a job doing odd jobs for a sprint car team. Mainly, washing the trailer floor at first.

A year later, I was able to purchase that trailer, and eventually the car too. I started rebuilding my team in Indy and eventually took on the role of ‘crew chief‘, maintaining the cars during the week and setting them up at the track. I worked in a fab shop in Speedway for a while bending and notching sprint car frame components and nerfs/bumpers. I was even with an Indy Lights team for a while as a mechanic. I worked hard over the off season on my coffee business and candy machine business to help cover the bills. Down the line, I went to trucking school to get my CDL.

Along the way, the Lord led me to a home and a shop that were such a blessing. He’s put so many wonderful people in my life who have welcomed me with opened arms, treated me like family and helped make sure my car gets to the track every week. I’ve made countless connections in racing and learned more than I could’ve ever imagined about racecars.

God has done more here than I can ever write and clearly haven’t done the best job of documenting on social media.

As we approach the “granddaddy of them all”, the Knoxville Nationals, am I bummed that what looked to be a promising season has had countless wrenches thrown in it? Of course. What has God taught me? That simply by showing up to the track, He can move just as much, even with the worst results. The conversations we’ve had with kids and adults alike are priceless. The memories we’ve made have been incredible. Our faith has grown through the fight in ways that would’ve never happened otherwise. God has never stopped moving mountains.

After all I’ve been through in fourteen years to get to this point and all that’s been sacrificed, of course, I more than anyone expect and desire great results. I want to win more than words can describe. I can’t count how many times I’ve walked out of my trailer at the end of the night to sign autographs with a distinct ‘knife in the chest’ feeling over the results and try to push through it with a smile.

Without a shadow of a doubt, I know we are right where God wants us. When I left home, I was 21 years old and came here with no family and no one paying for me to be here. Since then, by the grace of God, I’ve been able to create a LIFE here and make a living. That, in and of itself is a win in my eyes. Even when it’s been tight, God has provided for my every need. There’s few drivers in our sport funding their racing, driving, and working on the cars at the highest level, in that combination. There’s also very few young team owners and female team owners. I don’t believe any of those comparisons are better or worse, they’re just different, and the uniqueness of each team in our sport I believe gets lost sometimes.

Sprint car racing in 2024 is as expensive as ever, and big payout gaps equal big budget gaps. While I’m completely grateful and enthusiastic about the funding we have, the reality is we operate at 10% of the budget of a lot of the teams we compete against. I share that only to make the point that sprint car racing is not an apples to apples sport and completely respect how well deserving many drivers are of larger budgets. If God wanted us to have national tour funding, I believe He would make it a reality. The fact we aren’t in that boat has shown me that God wants us where we are right now, and that’s ok with me. I stand in awe that we get to race the way we do and have been racing as long as we have.

As for having bad nights? Losing loved ones makes for a bad day. Car accidents make for bad days. The diagnosis you weren’t expecting makes for a bad day. Having a bad result in a sprint car race is disappointing, absolutely, but I’m not entitled to race sprint cars. In fact, I believe winning and not using the platform for good or for God doesn’t mean we fully succeeded anyway. My whole career has been a gift and a miracle. Whatever happens next is up to God, but I will continue to race and try to make a positive impact on this sport as long as He lets me.

I share all this to encourage our sport by offering a different perspective and help others see these next couple of weeks through a different lense. While there’s been plenty of tears shed along the way and countless challenges, God is still good. He hasn’t failed us yet and never will. We will continue to praise Him in the mountains and the valleys and trust that anything is possible with Him.

She’s definitely one to watch!

In 75 years of NASCAR competition, over 130 women have made starts in a NASCAR sanctioned series. Is Robusto next?

Women supporting women…the Olympics has shown us perfect examples of that!!!

Women supporting women…the Olympics has shown us perfect examples of that!!!

"Aw, look how they hold hands when they go to the other side of the net?" my teenage daughter said. "I'm loving the women supporting women vibe of this Olympics!"

And as I watched Sara Hughes and Kelly Cheng, the United States' best beach volleyball pair, interlock their fingers as they walked to their bench, I totally got what my daughter was saying because beautiful moments like these are happening like rapid fire right now.

It's Allyson Felix launching a first-of-its-kind nursery for athlete mothers at the Olympics, and marathon runner Aliphine Tuliamuk and judoka Clarisse Agbégnénou advocating for breastfeeding space.

It's watching U.S. women's soccer coach Emma Hayes walking with her arm around Japan's Maika after a hard-fought loss.

It's Suni Lee and Simone Biles cheering on Brazil's Rebeca Andrade during the all-around, knowing what the three of them have overcome in the last few years.

It's rugby player Ilona Maher inspiring young girls to love their bodies no matter what the size.

It’s Katie Ledecky sharing the podium with her teammate Paige Madden.

It's South Korea's shooting Silver medalist and maybe the coolest person at the Olympics Ye-ji Kim carrying around a stuffed elephant that her daughter gave her.

It's Sha'Carri Richardson walking over to Julien Alfred after losing the 100m race and giving her a hug, then gleefully celebrating her Silver medal along with her teammate who won Bronze..

Millions of women seeing women supporting women. It is so powerful. It spreads like wildfire.

It's Adele stopping a concert to watch the women's 100m race last night.

It's Shannon Miller jumping for joy when Simone Biles broke her medal record.

It's Michele Kang contributing to lesser-known sports and women's teams, and the first stadium built for women’s sports in KC. (And shout out to Flavor Flav for helping out the women's water polo team because he's a "girl dad.")

When we see women supporting women instead of cutting them down, it's when the game changes, it's when we can meet our potential, and it's when we become unstoppable forces in this world.

Sports has always had a direct effect on society on multiple levels, from supporting vulnerable and marginal groups and rallying a nation in transition to building confidence and creating opportunities for youth.

We are living change right now, and dang, girls! You are killing it!

Even if you are not a sports fan, there is something electric about what's happening right now. Use it as a spark to engage with your daughters and with your sons.

And when you have an opportunity to lift a girl up, take it. There is enough success for all of us.

So, when I saw those two teammates walking hand in hand back onto that sandy court, I felt the vibe that my daughter was talking about.

And I want to see more of it, too.

Love hard. It's the only thing that matters.
