Adventures of fast jane Women! ANGIE WILSON

Hold on tight as our "Adventures of fast jane Women" series moves from the desert to the ovals! Coming at you directly from Blackbeard's Motorsports is Angie Wilson, a 25 year old racer from Nebo, North Carolina.

Competing in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series, Angie finished in 11th Place at the February 12, 2000 Discount Auto Parts 200 at Daytona International Speedway. Her next race is March 18 at Montgomery Motor Speedway, Montgomery, Alabama.

Angie began racing in 1989. She has logged a lot of seat time as she has made her way from go-karts to the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series. Let's meet Angie and track her career as she has moved through the competitive ranks.

 

1989 and 1990. Angie competed in Go-Karts in her home state of North Carolina. She received several awards and earned the Junior Carolina Cup Spring Series Champion in 1990, capturing an impressive 40 wins.

1991. Angie moved into the Carolina Minis, which are like go-karts with a body on them. With over 20 wins, this was a very satisfying year for her as you will read later in her memorable moments!

1992 and 1993. Angie spent the entire 1992 season racing Mini Stocks, and it was a very successful year for her. She had 5 wins and 11 top five finishes and was the FIRST FEMALE ever to win a NASCAR sanctioned race at Hickory Motor Speedway. She also was voted the 1992 Most Popular Driver. 1993 was a transition year, as she moved from Mini Stocks to Limited Sportsman.

1994 and 1995. Angie continued to build her racing resume as she competed in the Limited Sportsman Division in 1994. She completed her rookie year, finishing 9th in the points standings at Hickory Motor Speedway - pretty good for a rookie! The momentum carried over into the 1995 season. Angie became the FIRST FEMALE to win a Limited Sportsman Division race at Tri-County Motor Speedway - see memorable moments. She had two victories and 10 top five finishes on her way to a 3rd place finish in the Hickory Motor Speedway points standings. Angie competed in a V8 powered Ford Thunderbird.

1996, 1997, and 1998. After two years in the Limited Sportsman Division, Angie was ready for another move. She would spend the next three years competing in the Late Model Stock Division, racing a V8 powered Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Over the course of this time, she scored a couple more victories, racked up several top 5 finishes and earned numerous pole positions as she competed throughout the Carolinas.

1999. A New Adventure for Angie. She graduated to the ranks of the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series. Competing in her Pontiac Sunfire, Angie finished 12th overall in the points standing, captured 3 top five finishes and received the Napa Oil Filter Top Rookie of the Race award two times. She was also awarded the 1999 Most Popular Driver, which is voted on by her fellow competitors. Angie and her team were very pleased with their 1999 efforts.

Angie will be competing in her second full season in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series this year. With 16 dates on the race schedule, she plans to compete for the points championship. Along with her team, Angie enters the season with great confidence, knowing they had an impressive and competitive season last year.

 

During the 1991 season, Angie competed at many tracks across the southeast in both Go-Karts and Carolina Minis. As a result of her efforts, Angie was named the 1991 Dan Klutz Carolinas Cup Series Junior Driver of the Year. She is very proud of this award and her accomplishments in the Carolina Minis.

In 1995, Angie recalls another memorable moment, and we will let her tell you about it in her own words. She says, "The other memorable moment is of course when I won my first Late Model Stock race at Tri-County Motor Speedway. It was a big race and a lot of competitive drivers were there. There's not a better feeling than winning!!!"

Race fans keep an eye out for Angie Wilson, especially those of you in the southeast. If you have the opportunity to go to a Goody's Dash Series race, she would appreciate your support. Along with being a good competitor, Angie is an excellent ambassador for women in motorsports which is why she represents the true Spirit of the Fast Jane Woman!

We want to thank Angie for participating in our Adventures of fast jane Women! series and wish her continued success in her racing career.
