Speedway, IN, San Francisco, CA, March 21, 2023  – Car IQ Inc., a leader in vehicle payment solutions, is teaming up with USAC to sponsor the “The Fab Four” race competition that celebrates the accomplishments of female drivers in racing. The Fab Four seeks to shine a light on the extensive talent of young female drivers and provide them with a stepping stone to higher success within the racing industry.

Women drivers competing across USAC will have the opportunity to put their rivalries to the test in this cross-series competition. The winning driver will receive a $10,000 cash prize and an invitation to an advanced series test session with premier Porsche Cup team, MDK Motorsports.

Open to any female driver from the NOS Energy National Midget Series, AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series, or USAC National Silver Crown Series, The Fab Four competition begins on April 21, 2023 at the National Midget Series kick off race and runs through November 25, 2023.

We look forward to showcasing the skills of these female drivers and helping them achieve similar success.”

“We are proud to introduce The Fab Four competition, which provides female drivers with a unique opportunity to showcase their racing skills and earn recognition for their talent and determination,” said Kevin Miller, President and CEO of USAC. “USAC is pleased to be collaborating with Car IQ for this competition.

About The Fab Four Competition

The Fab Four competition begins with a preliminary qualification period that runs April to June. Each driver will compete in their respective series with results calculated based on their average feature finishing position. These results will determine the top four drivers that will be invited to participate in The Fab Four Finals competition which will run from July to November. In order to be eligible for the competition, drivers must complete a minimum of 5 feature finishes over the course of the season.  

The Fab Four competition also invites motorsport enthusiasts to support their favorite athletes through participation in The Fab Four voter sweepstakes. The winner of The Fab Four will be determined by a combination of racing results and fan votes. The racer’s 2023 season’s average feature finishing result will account for half of their competition standing, with the other half coming from fan votes.

Fans will be able to cast their votes on the USAC website under The Fab Four landing page. Voters will be entered into a sweepstakes with a chance to win an all expenses paid trip to the Turkey Night Grand Prix on November 25 in Ventura, California to watch the final race and meet each of The Fab Four drivers.
