Lindsay Brewer, the 23-year-old professional race car driver and content creator with over 2 million followers on social media, has made her momentous return to the racetrack and the world of professional racing. Brewer just participated in her first TC America Series Race, which took place in early March at Sonoma Raceway, placing in the top 10 in her first two rounds.
“I’m so incredibly excited to be returning to racing this year. It’s been a challenge for me to be out of the seat for the past couple of years due to college, so getting back to doing what I love has brought me immense joy. Although modeling and being a social media influencer has been great, being recognized again for my passion and as an athlete is definitely a great feeling. I’ve been training hard the past few months with Skip Barber Racing School with the sponsorship of the ClubHouse BH, testing different cars for this year. I have also continued my off track training as well with a Sparco simulator, so I feel well prepared for this coming season. I’m mostly excited to be back racing, due to the influence I can have on young girls who are wanting to be in motorsports, or any other male dominated industry. I believe women can do anything they set their minds to, and I want the next generation of young girls to know that. There are so many positives to look forward to this year, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish.”
Brewer’s fascination with racing began at age 11 with a trip accompanying her father to a go-kart event where a test ride for fun clocked faster times than the drivers who were actually competing. Bitten by the racing bug, Brewer continued putting the pedal to the metal, placing Top 10 in various national and regional championships, and winning the Rockies Regional Champion in her home state of Colorado for four years in a row.
After turning 15, Brewer embraced road cars, soon winning the U.S. Legend Car Championship in 2015. Today, a bright future full of new triumphs awaits Brewer in the world of sports car racing, on the eve of her return to the passion she has devoted her life to.
