Regina Sirvent on representing women and Mexico in NASCAR.
For the up-and-coming driver, who is breaking all the barriers, the support of her abuelas has made her feel “invincible.”I arrived at the race track in Monterrey, Mexico, to meet with NASCAR racer Regina Sirvent and, as a Hispanic woman, I was excited from the moment I heard her name.
Since then, she became the first woman driver to win in the trucks category in Mexico, and has been included in NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program, which provides training, development and sponsorship opportunities for young drivers from minority groups or foreign countries. Currently, she’s the only Hispanic woman in this program.
My other grandmother tells me to be brave, to fulfill my dreams. She used to say to my mother you have to fight, no matter how many times people tell you that you are not capable. You can achieve anything.: I have a lovely relationship with my grandmothers. We go out for coffee and sweet bread when I visit, which is a very Mexican tradition.
