Dystany Spurlock Will Become the First Black Woman to Drive in NASCAR

What’s Happening?

Drag racer Dystany Spurlock will make her NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut next weekend at Watkins Glen International, becoming the first black woman to drive in NASCAR’s National Series.

• Her debut will come with Carl Long’s MBM Motorsports team, driving their No. 69 truck with sponsorship from Foxxtecca. Spurlock made her stock car debut just this season, racing with MBM in the ARCA Menards Series after making her name racing NHRA Prostock Motorcycles.
• So far, she has just three starts in ARCA, two in the ARCA Menards Series East, and one in the main ARCA Menards Series. In her debut at Hickory Motor Speedway, she finished 7th for MBM, and, in her main ARCA Series debut at Kansas Speedway, she finished 10th after starting 29th.
• This will serve not only as her Truck Series debut but also as her debut racing on a road course in a stock car. Spurlock also plans to pull double duty that weekend, racing in both the ARCA and Truck races.
• MBM, known in the Cup Series as Garage 66, returned to the Truck Series in 2024 and has made sporadic starts in the seasons since. Their best finish so far came at The Glen last season, when driver Derek White brought home the truck in 19th.
