DOMINIQUE  VAN WIERINGER   -   06/22/1995

(home - Amhurstburg Ontario, CAN)
Van Wieringen began racing motocross at the age of five and eventually moved to kart racing.  In 2011, she made the transition to full-sized race cars and scored a feature win at Spartan Speedway in Mason, MI.  The following season, she won the Outlaw Super Late Model Championship at Springport Motor Speedway.  Moving to the JEGS/CRA All-Star Series in 2013, Van Wieringen became the first female to win on the All-Stars Tour on September 22, 2013 at Lucas Oil Raceway.  Van Wieringen signed with NEMCO Motorsports for the 2015 season, running super late models in various CRA Super Series and CARS-Tour events, occasionally as a teammate to John Hunter Nemechek.  She signed with RJR in 2016, and would have a less than desirable rookie season.  Van Wieringen only mustered a best finish of tenth through the first eleven races, however she would go on a hot streak in the final three races reeling off three consecutive Top 5 finishes to round out the year. Following the conclusion of the 2016 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season, Van Wieringen made her debut in the NASCAR Truck Series at Phoenix International Raceway.  While running 15th on lap 26, she was shoved into turn 1 by Austin Wayne Self which would force her into Tommy Joe Martins and end her night early, she would finish 31st.  It would be her only Truck Series start to date.  2018, Van Wieringen would make a return to racing while being an intern engineer for Joe Gibbs Racing in Modified’s at Corrigan Oil Speedway where she 

would score the pole and lead every lap up until a left front tire blew taking her out for the rest of the night. In 2019, she would run the full schedule at Springport Motor Speedway and win the Championship. Van Wieringen participated in ARCA's Daytona testing in January 2020, and posted the fastest time in one of the sessions. She drove the #30 for her former team, Rette Jones Racing. RJR later signed her back to run the race at the track in February of that year. In the race, she was involved in the big one and finished 25th. Van Wieringen is a Mechanical engineering student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  Her younger brother, Tristan, is also a race car driver, and he also drives for the Rette Jones team,
