Taylor Martin is one of the new drivers racing in NELCAR this season. Racing in the legends season opener at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS), Taylor finished the race in 15th place but she did make history as the very 1st female driver in NELCAR history and at age 13 to boot.

The NELCAR rules on age “The minimum age for Legends competition is fourteen (14). Twelve-year-olds and thirteen-year-olds may be allowed to compete if they have completed 18 months of documented, INEX Sanctioned, Bandolero racing, with a minimum of forty five (45) races total over this 18-month period.”
