In 2024, Spurlock mostly competed in the XDA Motorcycle Drag Racing Series. On October 5, 2024, she set track, series, and world records in the Real Street class with a 7.32-second pass at 178 mph and became the first woman in history to win that class.[3][4]

In partnership with Arana Racing, on June 20, 2025, Spurlock competed at the American Rebel Light Virginia NHRA Nationals, becoming the second black woman in history to compete in the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class.[3] She also competed in the U.S. Nationals that year.[5]

Formula 4

In 2023, Spurlock competed in Skip Barber's Formula 4 series, having graduated from the racing school.[6] She finished 13th in the final points standings.[7]

ARCA and NASCAR

In 2026, it was announced that Spurlock would make her debut in the ARCA Menards Series East at Hickory Motor Speedway, becoming the first black woman in history to compete in a NASCAR-sanctioned series. She will drive the No. 66 Chevrolet for MBM Motorsports.[8][9] She plans on running in select races in the main ARCA Menards Series, and plans for additional races later in year.[10] At Hickory, she finished on the lead lap in seventh place.[11] It was later revealed that she would run the following race at Rockingham Speedway (where she finished 12th), as well as the main ARCA Menards Series race at Kansas Speedway (where she finished tenth).[12][13][14]

On April 30, 2026, it was announced that Spurlock will attempt to make her debut in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Watkins Glen International, driving the No. 69 Toyota for MBM Motorsports.[15][16]

Personal life

Spurlock was born in Richmond, Virginia, United States. Her interest in motorsports began when she was young, when her parents took her on motorcycle rides around their home. She also spent Sundays watching NASCAR races on television. At the age of 12, her godfather took her to her first drag racing event, which started her motorcycle racing career.[2]

Spurlock played football in middle school and high school. She also worked for three years as a flight attendant for Delta Airlines and also worked as a truck driver.[1]

Since July 2024, Spurlock has been a member of the Board of Directors of the African American Automotive Association (AAAA), an organization which advocates for diversity in the automotive industry.[21][22]
