Taylor Reimer Bio
Taylor Reimer, born December 2, 1999, is an American racing driver competing in stock car and open-wheel racing. She is a member of the Toyota Racing Development program and has competed across midget cars, ARCA Menards Series entries, and NASCAR Regional Series Limited Late Models. Known for her dirt-track pedigree, she continues to balance national touring events with regional pavement racing while pursuing a long-term future in NASCAR.
Early Life and Background
Taylor Reimer was born on December 2, 1999, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she still maintains ties. She began racing at a young age, starting in 50cc go-karts at the Tulsa Kart Club in 2005. After earning a track championship in karts, she moved up to Junior Sprints at Port City Raceway in the Tulsa area, where she won every major race on the calendar and secured another track championship.
As she grew older, Reimer progressed into Restricted Winged Micros and became one of the most decorated female drivers ever to compete at Port City Raceway. She finished as the runner-up track champion in the Restricted class and recorded multiple top-ten finishes at the prestigious Tulsa Shootout, including a second-place result in 2011. Reimer remains the winningest female driver in Port City Raceway history.
Path to NASCAR
Reimer first competed at the Chili Bowl Nationals in 2021 with Dave Mac Motorsports, where her midget car performances drew national attention. Midway through that 2021 season, she joined Keith Kunz Motorsports, one of the premier teams in American open-wheel racing, and signed on to run the full 2022 USAC National Midget Championship schedule.
Her breakthrough moment came at Millbridge Speedway, where she initially finished second before being credited with the victory after Cannon McIntosh’s disqualification, becoming the first female driver ever to win a National Midget feature event. Reimer finished tenth in the 2022 USAC National Midget standings and was runner-up in the POWRi National Midget League points. Those results earned her a development opportunity with Toyota and set the stage for her transition to stock car racing.
Taylor Reimer Career
Early Career (2005–2021)
Taylor Reimer’s early career was built in the Tulsa-area short-track scene, where she cut her teeth on dirt ovals in karts, Junior Sprints, and Restricted Winged Micros. She established herself as a championship-caliber driver with multiple track titles and major-race victories at Port City Raceway, which she still calls the foundation of her racing résumé.
By her early twenties, Reimer had become one of the most recognizable young talents in grassroots dirt racing. She earned a Tulsa Shootout podium and built relationships with respected open-wheel teams, which led directly to her first Chili Bowl appearance and her subsequent signing with Keith Kunz Motorsports.
USAC National Midget Breakthrough (2021–2023)

Her signature USAC moment came when she was awarded the Millbridge Speedway feature win after post-race technical inspection, becoming the first female driver to win a National Midget feature. The result was a defining career moment that drew national media coverage and helped position her as a leading candidate for stock car opportunities.
ARCA Menards Series and Stock Car Debut (2023–2024)

At the 2024 Springfield dirt race, she finished third, matching her qualifying position and finishing one spot behind teammate Isabella Robusto in a Venturini entry. She has since aligned with Nitro Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 70 Toyota Camry.
Lee Faulk Racing Era (2023–Present)
