Megan Reitenour 

Megan Reitenour is eighteen years old and lives in Miamisburg, Ohio. She is part of a third generation of racers in her family. She started out in a pink Barbie Corvette at the age of two years old. Her Dad placed pillows behind her and underneath her so she could reach the pedals of the car. At age four, she advanced to a Quad Runner and couldn't wait to get into a Quarter Midget at age five.

She stayed in the Quarter Midget Series for seven years. She was able to obtain three consecutive track championships and have over 150 top three feature finishes. After moving up from the Quarter Midget Series, She spent two years in the Bandolero series. She won the 2004/2005 Bandolero State Championship. She was fortunate enough to win the Great Lakes Nationals in Flint, Michigan and the Buckeye Nationals in Xenia, Ohio, ranking 5th overall in the Nation.

In 2006 she stepped up to the Legend Series. She finished in the top ten in 24 out of the 26 races that she participated in. She won the 2006 Young Lions State of Ohio Championship, ranking in the top 20% in the nation of the Semi-Pro Division. With her fourth place standing in the Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana Legends (KOIL) Touring Series, she set two records in the process. One being the youngest driver to place in the top five and the other being the first ever female to place in the top ten of the series.
In 2007 she stepped up to the ARCA Lincoln Welder Truck Series. This series is a traveling series within the Midwest Region of the United States. These trucks are powered by 350 horse power V-6 engines and are equipped with four speed transmissions.

In 2008 she stepped up to the Super Cup Stock Car Series. The SCSCS Series is a traveling series within the Eastern Region of the United States. These cars are powered by 600 horse power V-8 engines and are equipped with four speed transmissions. 2008 marked the first year that she participated as a development driver for Nesbitt Race Enterprises, Inc. She had an impressive record with three wins, nine top fives and ten top tens and she was named rookie of the year ranking second overall in the Nation, missing the championship by only seven points.  Megan was the only driver in the series to post three victories for the season.

In Oct  2008, Megan  was selected for the first time to participate in the 2008 Drive for Diversity Testing & Evaluation Combine, where her performance earned her a position as a 2009 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver. She will drive for Leicht Motorsports in the NASCAR Whelen All American Series at Tri-County Speedway in Hudson. N.C.

Also in 2008, Megan was fortunate to be part of the first groups selected as a Project Podium recipient. Megan believes her success this far could not have occurred without the support of my team, family, friends and independent sponsorships; and is so grateful for them. She gets great satisfaction from being part of a group that represents young ladies in this sport and looks forward to the goals and challenges ahead of her.
