Send us a textA five-year-old asks for a race kart. A teenager helps build her first full-bodied car. Then she trades her helmet for a tiara to grow the sport she loves. Meet Zoe Quinn—19-year-old driver and 2025 Miss Mahoning—whose story proves that visibility can be just as powerful as velocity.We dive into Zoe's early start in pee-wee karts and a decade in quarter midgets, where consistent top-three finishes taught her discipline and patience. She walks us through building a rookie hobby stock with her dad, from stripping a street car to swapping a motor, and explains how turning wrenches built the confidence she carries to the grid. You'll hear the “oh no” that every racer fears—her steering wheel popping off in practice—and how composure, quick repairs, and a reset got her back for heats and the feature. Along the way, she shares the race-day routine that keeps her sharp: protein, hydration, and a non-negotiable good-luck kiss with her dad.Zoe also opens up about stepping into Miss Mahoning by one vote and why the role matters. From kids' events and victory lane to visiting neighboring tracks, she's using the spotlight to invite more women into motorsports and showcase the behind-the-scenes work that makes race night run. We unpack the world of motorsports pageants like Motorama and Miss Motorsports, how ambassadors amplify local racing, and what real support looks like for first-time female drivers. Mentors like Corey Edelman and Anthony Sesely show up here too, reminding us how guidance and community keep young talent in the sport.If you care about grassroots racing, women in motorsports, driver development, and the culture that turns fans into family, this conversation is a lap worth taking.
