WINTER HAVEN, FL — On Saturday, April 4th, 2026, the Florida racing scene will witness a major career milestone as 19-year-old Driver Lacy Kuehl makes her highly anticipated debut in the Super Late Model division at Auburndale Speedway. The event, headlined by the Easter Super Late Model Twin 50's, marks Kuehl’s transition into one of the most competitive levels of short-track racing.
Kuehl, a Sarasota native and a graduate of the 2019 NASCAR Youth Development Driver Program, has spent the last decade building a reputation for versatility and resilience. From winning in Legend Cars at Auburndale to competing in the Junior Iditarod in Alaska, Kuehl has consistently proven she can handle high-pressure environments.
"Moving into a Super Late Model is the next step in my goal to reach the highest levels of NASCAR and other Motorsports endeavors," said Kuehl. "Auburndale is where I’ve had some of my biggest moments, and I can’t think of a better place to start this new chapter."
Driving for a Deeper Purpose
While the debut is a significant achievement, Kuehl’s primary focus remains her mission: Drive for Diabetes Awareness, INC (DFDA). After losing her baby brother, Rocco, to misdiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes in 2010, Lacy and her family have used racing as a platform to educate parents on the early warning symptoms of the disease.
For the April 4th race, Kuehl’s Super Late Model will feature the signature #4 DFDA. As part of her "Check Don’t Guess" campaign, she will spend time before the green flag meeting fans and distributing educational brochures to help save lives through early detection.
