Landauer began racing go-karts at age 10, and found success with many wins and podiums.{{cite web | url=http://www.womenyoushouldknow.net/women-talk-10-questions-with-racecar-driver-julia-landauer/ | title=Women Talk: 10+ Questions With Racecar Driver Julia Landauer | date=17 May 2013 | publisher=Women You Should Know | access-date=June 12, 2016}} At 13, Landauer moved to racing cars and the following year became the first female champion of a Skip Barber Racing Series, scoring 12 wins.{{cite web | url= http://hometracks.nascar.com/nknps-west/story/landauer-named-drive-bmr_01122016 | title=Landauer Named To Drive For BMR | publisher=NASCAR.com | access-date=June 15, 2016}} After racing in Formula BMW USA single-seaters, she gained her first oval-racing experience in Ford Focus Midgets. Landauer then transitioned to late model stock cars, but ran into funding issues. While in college, she competed part-time in late models and Legends cars.{{cite web | url=http://hometracks.nascar.com/nwaas/story/landauer-caps-rookie-campaign-title_09172015 | title=Landauer Caps Rookie Campaign With Title | publisher=NASCAR | access-date=June 12, 2016}}

Having caught the attention of owner Bill McAnally in 2009, Landauer competed for his Bill McAnally Racing team in select Late Model races that year, running in the Whelen All-American Series Late Model division at All American Speedway. In 2015 at the Motor Mile Speedway, Landauer competed for Lee Pulliam Performance, winning the All-American Series-sanctioned Limited Late Model track championship, the first female track champion in that division, and the first female track champion since Sheryl Carls in 2011. She also competed in the track's Limited Sportsman division, winning in her debut.

For 2016, Landauer was selected by McAnally and his business partner, record executive and former Lieutenant Governor of California Mike Curb, to drive for a fourth team in the K&N Pro Series West. Behind the wheel of the No. 54 Toyota Camry, she finished eighth in her debut at Irwindale Speedway, going on to record 7 top-5 finishes and 13 top-10s in 14 races, for which she was honored with the 2016 Driver Achievement Award and named the series's Top Breakthrough Driver.{{cite web|url=http://racing-reference.info/race/2016_Toyota_NAPA_Auto_Parts_150/P|title=2016 Toyota / NAPA Auto Parts 150|work=Racing-Reference|access-date=June 23, 2016}} During the course of the season, she was also invited to be a part of the NASCAR Next program, the only female in the 2016 class.{{cite web | url=https://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/story/_/id/15885830/stock-car-driver-julia-landauer-hopes-graduate-racing-level | title=Julia Landauer hopes to graduate to racing's next level | date=June 2016 | publisher=ESPN | access-date=June 12, 2016}}{{cite web|last=McFadin|first=Daniel|url=http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2016/05/17/matt-tifft-harrison-burton-and-todd-gilliland-highlight-newest-nascar-next-class/|title=Matt Tifft, Harrison Burton and Todd Gilliland highlight newest NASCAR Next class|publisher=NBC Sports|date=May 17, 2016|access-date=June 23, 2016}}
