Taylor Ferns, at 27 years old, is an accomplished racecar driver, third-year law student, and Operations Manager at The Sam Bernstein Law Firm. Throughout her 21-year racing tenure, she has won numerous races, championships, awards, and set records that do not only pertain to her gender, in a diverse portfolio of racecars, and on varying race surfaces. As a United States Auto Club (USAC) champion, Taylor has carved a name for herself within the open-wheel ranks including, but not limited to, being the youngest female driver to win a sprint car race, becoming the first female to win USAC midget and sprint car races at a multitude of racetracks, being the second female to ever win a USAC championship, having the most USAC Silver Crown starts by a female, and having the highest finish by a female in USAC’s 51-year Silver Crown history. The latter record she intends to break by winning.

Taylor will be expanding her motorsports portfolio by driving the three oval races in the INDY NXT by Firestone series for Abel Motorsports in 2024.
