Meet Addilyn Shields

---

Addilyn Shields is a 12-year-old Native American born on April 14, 2014  in Flagstaff, AZ.  Since birth, Addilyn has known North Carolina as home.   Addilyn is in the 7th grade and wants to be three things when she is a "grown-up"... she wants to be a professional track athlete, NASCAR driver, or a Fashion Designer.  The sky is the limit!

In recent years, Addilyn has been actively involved in the sport of cheerleading with a local youth organization in our town, which she thoroughly enjoyed.   Soon after being around the race track most weekends, she started asking when she could get her a car and start racing like her brother, William.  

She completed Rookie Training at the end of the 2024 season and worked her way through Red Rookie and Blue Rookie during the 2025 season in both the Championship and Summer Series at NCQMA.

In Championship Series Race #12 of the 2026 season, she made her debut in the Heavy Honda class as she graduated and moved up from the Rookie Program.  We are exited to see how she does in this highly competitive class in the upcoming 2027 season.
