“START YOUR ENGINES. The Roseville All-American Speedway wrapped up its 70th season of stock-car racing tomorrow night with a NASCAR championship. [Two] women are making history on the track. Your reporter covering Placer County, Brady Halbleib, met with two of them.

The roar of engines could be heard Friday afternoon as racers gear up for the 70th annual NASCAR championship. Two of the drivers are speeding through the glass ceiling. ‘Yeah, I mean, it doesn’t make a lot of men happy when a 14-year-old girl beats them on the track,’ Kylie Glick said. You heard that right—Kylie is leaving the boys in the dust. She is racing a full-size late model car that is basically like a NASCAR Cup-style car.

She doesn’t have a driver’s license, but she has a NASCAR license, allowing her to compete in her rookie year on the junior late stock-car circuit. She’s not just competing; she is dominating, with a championship title within reach and defying expectations. ‘I think I’ve been doing that a lot this season, and I’m really excited to see what the future holds for me. Hopefully, I can make it to the NASCAR Cup Series and prove a lot of people wrong,’ Kylie said.

Another driver making waves is Kenna Mitchell, eighteen years old and the first female super late model champion at All-American Speedway’s Super Series in October. Like Kylie, she too has her eyes on the big leagues. ‘NASCAR for sure—that would be super cool to race, knowing there’s not a lot of female drivers,’ Kenna shared.

Kenna and Kylie will make history as two female drivers presumed to be winners heading into tomorrow’s races. They compete in different circuits, but both understand the importance of inspiring a new generation of drivers. ‘Sometimes out there it’s like, man, I want to do well because there’s not a lot of girls out there. I hope we can show them what we have.’
