Landauer began racing go-karts at age 10, and found success with many wins and podiums.

Landauer then transitioned to late model stock cars, but ran into funding issues. While in college, she competed part-time in late models and Legends cars. [3]

Having caught the attention of owner Bill McAnally in 2009, Landauer competed for his Bill McAnally Racing team in select Late Model races that year, running in the Whelen All-American Series Late Model division at All American Speedway.

For 2016, Landauer was selected by McAnally and his business partner, record executive and former Lieutenant Governor of California Mike Curb, to drive for a fourth team in the K&N Pro Series West. Behind the wheel of the No. 54 Toyota Camry, she finished eighth in her debut at Irwindale Speedway, going on to record 7 top-5 finishes and 13 top-10s in 14 races, for which she was honored with the 2016 Driver Achievement Award and named the series's Top Breakthrough Driver. [4] [5] During the course of the season, she was also invited to be a part of the NASCAR Next program, the only female in the 2016 class. [6] [7]

In 2018, Landauer secured three races with CBRT in the NASCAR Pinty's Series. [8] The following year, she became the first woman to lead a lap in the Pinty's Series. [9]

Personal life

Landauer graduated from Manhattan's Stuyvesant High School in 2010. [12] In 2014, she attained a bachelor's degree in science, technology, and society from Stanford University. [2] Landauer has also been a motivational speaker at events like TEDx. [13] [2] In 2017, she was named to Forbes magazine's 30 Under 30 list for sports. [5]

Landauer first gained national exposure as a contestant on the twenty-sixth season of Survivor (2013), reaching Day 19 before she was voted out (the eighth contestant to be eliminated). [14] [1] She is originally from New York City, and has since moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where most NASCAR teams are based. [13]
