Leilani Münter's story of advocate motorsports will come to a close on February 9 at Daytona International Speedway.

Münter, the self-described "hippie vegan chick with a race car" will drive her familiar No. 55 Toyota for Venturini Motorsports with sponsorship support coming from strategic partners A Well-Fed World and TryVeg.com. The car will also carry the colors of "What the Health," a Netflix documentary film from the creators of the award-winning documentary "Cowspiracy."

The 44-year-old, who has made 18 ARCA Racing Series starts since 2010, with promotions for a variety of vegan and animal rights initiatives on her car, will make her seventh start at Daytona. And after setting the fastest lap during pre-season test last month, she hopes her final start will end in a storybook fashion.

"It’s been an amazing adventure doing what I love, and I’ve been very fortunate being able to support so many great causes along the way," Münter said. "My entire career has been based on my ability to raise sponsorship. I’m at the point now where I don’t have anything lined up past Daytona, so this is likely my last race.

"I am truly thankful for every lap I’ve ever taken in a race car. It was a lot of hard work, but it was a lot of fun as well. I have met so many wonderful people along the way, people I will stay friends with long after I hang up my helmet."

Münter’s racing career spans 18 years and includes starts in the Indy Lights series before joining the ARCA Racing Series in a part-time role eight years ago. Most of her starts have come on superspeedways, where she has posted a 22nd-place average finish. She has a best finish of eighth last year at Daytona. "It has been an incredible journey and I’m truly thankful for everyone who has supported me along the way. I cannot thank the Venturini family enough for giving me such incredible race cars to drive the last few years," Münter said. "Although I’ll take a back seat to racing I will continue my off-track efforts championing causes near to my heart. I am currently on the board of three nonprofit organizations and researching a documentary film that I will begin filming after Daytona."
