WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- At a track dominated by male egos, in a sport where women have a hard time breaking through, a 21-year-old young lady from Davidson County is doing her part to break that barrier.

Taylor Robbins grew up watching her dad, Brad, race in the modified division at Bowman Gray Stadium has been racing in the Street Stock division for several years. Saturday night she claimed her first victory at the historic quarter mile. She became the first female to win at the track since 1998 and only the third ever as far as the track can tell going back through all the records.

She did so in dominating fashion, grabbing the lead in turn two on lap one from her second place starting position and never looked back. Through multiple restarts and holding off Doug Wall, Brian Wall and last season’s champion Derrick Rice, Robbins stayed out front and negotiated lap track with the grace of a veteran and a handful of luck.

Luck is just what she needed. She has a fast car, loads of talent and has had plenty of great runs, only to get caught up in someone else’s mess or clobbered from behind.

This was her night to become victorious and from the roar of the crowd when she took the checkered flag, it was a popular win too.
