Nicole Behar is an 18 year old racer who just graduated high school, but will be leaving with much more then just a diploma. She will be going from cap and gown to helmet and firesuit. The young teen was written about in Sport’s Illustrated “Faces in the Crowd”. Nicole was anonymously nominated, later to find out that the Sport’s Illustrated senior racing writer, Drew Lawrence, was the one responsible for nominating her. Nicole started racing go-karts at the age of 8 and has been racing ever since. Currently, Nicole is attending Eastern Washington University where she is pursuing her degree in nursing.
Drew nominated Nicole because of her amazing track record. She competes in K&N Pro Series West. In April of 2015 Nicole was named the highest finishing female driver, along with being named one of the 12 members of the 2015-2016 NASCAR Next class at a presentation in the NASCAR Hall of Fame in May. Within the past 5 races that Nicole has partaken in in the year of 2015, she has achieved 2 top-five finishes and 4 top-ten finishes. Nicole plans to continue racing, continue her education, and become a successful racing nurse.
