Nicole Behar

[1] A fifth generation racer, Behar began go-kart racing after her sixth birthday, transitioning to full bodied cars at fourteen.

The following season, she commanded significant attention after her second-place finish at the King Taco Catering/NAPA Auto Parts 150, earning an invitation into the NASCAR Next program for promising young drivers.

[1] Running consistently in the top half of the field, Behar finished the year with nine top-10s in thirteen races, good enough for 10th place in the final points standings.

[3] Undeterred, Behar started and finished third in her ARCA Racing Series debut that June at Madison International Speedway, driving a Toyota for Venturini Motorsports.

Behar has put her college aspirations on hiatus, moving to Mooresville, North Carolina in January 2016 to be closer to the hub of stock car racing.
