fails WP:NMOTORSPORT. She is not a professional driver. She is strictly a local driver and no indication that she is ready to start in any of the major 3 NASCAR series. No starts in any NASCAR touring series. Her father is notable but not her. The same scenario as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jared Siefert resulted in deletion.

Keep. Does indeed fail WP:NSPORT/WP:NMOTORSPORT, but that is not the be-all and end-all; I believe she meets the WP:GNG.
