Natalie Decker to make NASCAR return in Daytona Xfinity race

The 28-year-old will make her first start of the 2025 season at Daytona International Speedway

Natalie Decker will join the short list of female drivers to compete in NASCAR after becoming a mother, giving birth to her first child on February 5th of this year.

She will drive the No. 92 DGM Racing Chevrolet with sponsorship from Wawa. Josh Bilicki will drive the No. 91 as her teammate for the superspeedway race next weekend. The track is the site of Decker's best showing in the Xfinity and Truck Series, as well as ARCA.

Decker has 12 previous starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, most recently competing at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May, 2024 (also with DGM). Her best result came in the 2024 season-opener at Daytona, finishing 18th and leading seven laps.

Decker's career also includes 32 starts in the Truck Series, finishing as high as fifth in the 2020 season-opener at Daytona. That result was the best ever for a woman competing in the NASCAR Truck Series.

In 31 starts in ARCA, Decker has two top fives and nine top tens, including a pole position at Daytona in 2018. That year, she placed seventh in the standings.
