18-year-old Madeline Crane, a native of Meansville, Georgia, has just been instated into the 2016 NASCAR Drive for Diversity roster. She will drive for Rev Racing in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series as part of the program.

Crane was originally named the first alternate after her performance in the October combine. She joins the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program in place of Juan Garcia, who will pursue opportunities in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.  Madeline and Ali Kern now make up the two female drivers on the 6 racer roster.

Madeline Crane – NASCAR Ambitions

Madeline Crane began her racing career in Bandoleros at 10-years-old in the Thursday Night Thunder Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway. She picked up two consecutive wins in her first season, quickly moving into Legend cars, and by the time she was 14 she had already garnered 59 top-5 finishes in just 82 starts, finishing the year as the Pro Division Winter Flurry Champion.

At the age of 15, she moved up again, racing Crate Late Models at Dixie Speedway. Madeline Crane finished her first season in Late Models second in points, before turning her focus to Super Late Models.

We are excited to have Maddie join our program,” said Max Siegel, Rev Racing team owner. “Crane has continued to show growth year-after-year during her combine evaluation. We are ready to get her in the car and prepared for the season ahead.”

Madeline Crane and her teammate Enrique Baca will hit the track on Saturday, March 19th at Hickory Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season opener for Rev Racing.

13 female racers Drive for Diversity

October 7, 2015 //  by Horsepower & Heels

Drive for Diversity Combine13 female racers will have three days to compete for a spot in the top driver development program, NASCAR Drive for Diversity (D4D), taking place at Langley Speedway in Hampton, Va., Oct. 19-21, 2015.   In total, 22 drivers were selected to take part in the combine.

The D4D program, currently in its 12th year, invites promising ethnically diverse and female drivers, ages 14 to 26, from across North America to test their skills over a three-day period in an annual combine order to select the newest members of the program for the following year.   Drivers are evaluated on their driving skills and strength and agility exercises. Those identified during the combine will take part in the diversity program for 2016.

“Finding and developing diverse athletes who will represent the future of NASCAR is at the core of our organization’s mission,” said NASCAR Senior Vice President of Racing Operations Jim Cassidy. “Every year, the bar is raised with talented applicants who have the potential and determination to succeed. We’re proud to watch our graduates in the national series and develop more diverse talent to join them in the years to come.”

Rev Racing, the Max Siegel-owned race team, partners with the D4D program to offer racing opportunities in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (NKPSE) and NASCAR Whelen All-American Series (NWAAS) for one full season, providing drivers with equipment, mentoring, and competition experience.

“We could not be more excited about this year’s NASCAR Drive for Diversity Combine to select the 2016 Class of Rev Racing drivers,” said team CEO Max Siegel. “Coming off of our 6th consecutive multiple race winning season, we are focused on continuing to make our program and approach world-class, as we prepare these young drivers to advance into the national series.”

This year, 13 female racers Drive for Diversity, including the youngest combine participant ever at 14 years old, Macy Causey.
