Part time Camping World Truck Series driver Nataie Decker has signed a deal with Reaume Brothers Racing to driver the number 33 car in the Xfinity Series beginning with the race in Daytona. 

Decker spoke on her new ride saying, “I’m so thankful and so excited to be racing with Reaume Brothers Racing.  They are such an amazing team and I’m excited to be able to kick off my 2022 season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Daytona with functional beverage Nerd Focus and N29 Partners on board.  I can’t believe this is happening and this is a dream come true for me to be able to race in the NASCAR Xfinity Series on the high banks of Daytona.”

Josh Reaume of RBR added,  “I am really looking forward to having Natalie behind the wheel with Reaume Brothers Racing at Daytona. Natalie has shown success on the high banks in the past, and we are looking forward to sharing more of her success with her.” 

Earlier this week, Busch Light has announced a new initiative – Accelerate Her Program – to aid female drivers in NASCAR. The adult beverage purveyor has earmarked $10 million for the project to sponsor and aid female drivers in the sport.

Since Janet Guthrie entered NASCAR, there have been only a handful of female drivers across all three levels of NASCAR.  Currently, with the exception of Decker who has just signed on to the Xfinity Series, all female drivers in NASCAR are in the ARCA and Camping World Truck Series.  Jennifer Jo Cobb is the only female driver/owner in the sport with her own Truck Series team.

The Busch Light Accelerate Her Program is set to sponsor every female driver at least 21 years old over the next three years.

Camping World Truck Series driver Hailie Deegan does not qualify for the program since she is not yet 21 years old – she will be 21 on July 18.

Drivers involved in the Accelerate Her Program for 2022:
Natalie Decker – Xfinity Series
Jennifer Jo Cobb – Camping World Truck Series
Toni Breidinger – ARCA Menards Series
Amber Balcaen – ARCA Menards Series
Brittney Zamora – ARCA Menards Series
Stephanie Moyer – ARCA Menards Series
Melissa Fifield – Whelen Modified Tour
