Mia Lovell (born January 29, 2007) is a Chinese-born American professional auto racing driver who currently competes full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 15 Toyota for Nitro Motorsports.

Early life

Lovell was born in China, where she spent the first seven months of her life in an orphanage before being adopted by her parents and moving to the United States.[1]

At the age of five, Lovell began a career in skateboarding, where she spent the next several years competing in regional and semi-pro competitions.[1][2] After her skateboarding career stalled due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, she started accompanying her father at a nearby club track, Apex Racing Club, where she watched her father drive cars at the facility. This led to her turning laps in a car at the facility as well and ultimately led her to pursue a career in racing.[1][2]

Racing career

Lovell first began racing in 2023, where she ran in the Toyota Gazoo Racing GR Cup North America, driving for Smooge Racing. She earned one top-ten finish at Sebring International Raceway and won the GR Cup Overall Fastest Female award for the year.[1][3] She returned to the series the following year, where she drove for Copeland Motorsports. That year, she earned six top-ten finishes and won the GR Cup Overall Fastest Female award for the second year in a row.[1][4] It was during that year where she raced in Legends Cars in the INEX Series' Silver State Road Course Series.[5]

In 2025, Lovell moved to the Trans-Am Series, where she drove for Nitro Motorsports in the TA2 class.[6] She finished in the top-ten in the majority of races she participated in and won Rookie of the Year honors in the Western Division.[1] She also ran select late model races with Sigma Performance Services, including making two starts in the CARS Pro Late Model Tour.[2][7]

In 2026, it was announced that Lovell will drive full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 15 Toyota for Nitro Motorsports.[8][9]

Personal life

Lovell attended and graduated from high school in Phoenix, Arizona before moving to Charlotte, North Carolina to attend Davidson College.[1][10]
