Megan Reitenour is just 18 years old but she’s already finding the fast track to success in motorsports. As a member of the 2009 Drive for Diversity class, Reitenour tallied seven top fives and 16 top 10s, finishing fourth in the Late Model standings at Tri-County Motor Speedway in Hudson, N.C. She was also named the track’s Rookie of the Year.

In 2008, as a high school junior, Reitenour competed in the Super Cup Stock Car Series traveling to races in North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Now the recent high school graduate is competing in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series driving a late model stock car against some of the best drivers in the country.

Reitenour, a third generation racer, began her career racing Quarter Midgets at the age of five. To date, she has over 200 wins and seven championships.

Off the track, Reitenour has embraced social networking as a way to communicate with her fans; she’s active on Facebook and on the Drive for Diversity online community, D4D.tv.

With the support of her parents, Bill and Tabitha, Reitenour has already gathered a strong fan base from her hometown of Miamisburg, Ohio. Last year, Reitenour was presented with an award from the City of Miamisburg, recognizing her racing achievements.

She hopes to continue to bring recognition to her hometown through her on-track success and off-track community service. She is active in supporting causes near to her heart, including multiple sclerosis, melanoma cancer and animal related causes. Reitenour has also participated in charity events with the Lyn St. James Women in the Winner’s Circle program. She has appeared at the annual CARA Charities Fashion Show and Luncheon, modeling alongside honorees like Helio Castroneves, Milko Duno and Paul Tracy.
