Natalie Decker to Compete at the Daytona International Speedway in the Xfinity Series
Ahead of the Xfinity race at the Daytona International Speedway, Natalie Decker announced her participation. She is currently racing for Reaume Brothers Racing and this will be her first time on the speedway. The announcement comes, barely a few days after she and several other female racers earned sponsorships from Anheuser Busch.

Now, the 24-year-old will be behind the wheel of the #33 car. In addition to that, Decker has roped in Nerd Focus as a title sponsors. She confirmed that she will be back for more races, but there is no word on which races they will be. This race at Daytona will be Decker’s 6th career Xfinity start, and she will be eager to get the show on the road.
What to expect from Natalie Decker?
As one of a few female drivers in NASCAR, the woman will be keen to prove her mettle. With added sponsorship from Anheuser Busch, Natalie Decker has a point to prove. Without a doubt, she is a fairly decent driver, because she recorded good finishes in her career. This also includes a 5th place finish in 2020 at Daytona itself in the Truck arena for Niece Motorsports. So this could be a point in her favour in the buildup to the Xfinity race.

This is also the second consecutive season for Decker with Reaume Brothers Racing. After her first season witnessed her not finishing within the Top 20, she is anxious to improve her performance. Natalie Decker also knows that it is up to her and her fellow female racers to act as beacons of hope for young girls out there. It is their chance to prove that they can mix with the big boys and prove their worth. The Accelerate Her program is just a stepping stone for them, and the $10 million investment is a big boost to their hopes.
