Alexandra "Alli" Owens
Driver - No. 12
ElectrifyingCareers.com Chevrolet
Alli caught the
racing bug at an early age. Her first taste of competition was at age 8
when she entered a BMX bicycle race. Success came quickly for the
Daytona Beach, Fla. native. After her first full season, she was signed
as a factory rider for Dan’s Competition/Huffy Bikes. After numerous
victories and winning the President's Cup, Alli decided to try four
wheel competition.
Following a brief stint in quarter midgets, Alli, at age 13, moved into
the Dirt Pure Stock Division on ½ mile clay oval at Volusia Speedway
Park. Once again, success came immediately. In her first season, she
finished with an impressive record of two wins, six top five, eight
top‑10 finishes and ended the 2003 season sixth out of twenty
seven cars in the championship
standings.
Alli began competing on asphalt in the Mini Stock division on the ½ mile
oval at New Smyrna Speedway in 2004. She finished the season third in
the championship standings and captured the division's
Rookie‑of‑the‑Year honors.
In 2005, Alli advanced to the Late Model division at New Smyrna
Speedway. She quickly established herself as a championship contender by
scoring a solid second place finish in her first outing. She ended the
season third in the championship standings and grabbed her second
consecutive Rookie‑of‑the‑Year award.
Prior to the 2007 season, Alli received the break of a lifetime. The
National Labor Management Cooperation Committee (NLMCC), a joint entity
of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), signed on to be
Alli's primary sponsor. She went on to compete in the NASCAR Whelen
All‑American Series at Hickory Motor Speedway and in the Late Model
division at Tri‑County Speedway.
The 2008 season brings Alli to the renowned ARCA RE/MAX Series. With
continued support from her sponsors, she will drive the No. 12
ElectrifyingCareers.com Chevrolet fielded by DGM Racing. With her sights
set on a future career as a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver, the
19‑year‑old is optimistic about the challenges ahead.
