Mackena Bell

Mackena Bell, 22, of Carson City, Nevada is competing in her third season with Rev Racing after running a full season in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series in 2011 and 6 races in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2010.

In 2009, after testing at the annual Drive for Diversity Combine, Bell was invited to compete with Position One Motorsports in the Super Late Model division at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale (Calif.). She embraced the challenge of a new division and a new race track and finished her rookie season with an eighth place points finish. She also made history becoming the first female in the Super Late Model Division to make the podium with a 3rd place finish in August 2009.

In 2008, she competed in her first full season in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif., under her family owned race team, “Mackena Bell Motorsports”. The youngest competitor in the field of late models finished ninth in the overall point standings after missing 4 races. That season was enough to earn the attention of the Drive for Diversity program and Position One Motorsports.

Bell has worked her way up the racing ladder from Super Outlaw Dirt Karts to Super Late Models, and began racing karts in her hometown at Thunder Bowl Speedway before advancing to an asphalt Legends car in 2005. That season, she became the only female to win a Legend Car championship at Champion Speedway in Carson City and was the youngest driver to win a title in the track’s 42-year history.
