PAIGE  DECKER   -   03/20/1993

(home - Eagle River, WI)
Decker raced in asphalt short tracks in Wisconsin and gradually branched out to other tracks in the Midwestern United States. She toured in the Mid-American Stock Car Series in 2010 and 2011. Then she moved up to racing in Super Late Models. She joined the TUNDRA Super Late Model Tour in 2013. Decker became the first woman and rookie to win in the series at the Golden Sands Speedway event. Decker was awarded the tour's Rookie of the Year in 2013. Decker was named as a NASCAR Drive for Diversity driver in 2014. She competed in Whelen All-American Series events for Rev Racing that year at the Hickory Motor Speedway, Langley Speedway, and Motor Mile Speedway. Decker received a call from Mike Harmon Racing at New Smyrna Speedway during the World Series of Stock Car Racing within the Daytona Speedweeks to see if she was interested to race in one of their trucks. She attempted her first ever NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race driving the #74 Chevrolet for owner/driver Mike Harmon, but was one of four teams that failed to qualify.  She qualified 33rd fastest, about 1/10 second behind the 32nd final spot. Decker qualified in the fall Martinsville race and finished 30th.  Decker

returned in 2016, with her sister Claire Decker, and her cousin Natalie Decker competing in the Martinsville race. Claire and Paige qualified for the race, while Natalie was sent home. The Decker family raced snowmobiles against the Danica Patrick family during the 1970s. Sue Decker, Paige's aunt, introduced Danica Patrick's parents. Her sister Claire Decker also races for her family's Decker Racing team. They are joined on the team by their younger cousin NASCAR Drive for Diversity driver Natalie Decker. Natalie's father (and Paige's uncle) is Chuck Decker, the former owner of the Eagle River Derby Track which hosts the World Championship Snowmobile Derby.  Some info from Wikipedia
