FANTASY NASCAR Racin

(home - Pensacola, FL)
Long's father raced late models and she wanted to start racing karts when she was five years old; he allowed her to start racing when she was eight. She moved up into legends car later before turning to late models when she was twelve. In 2008, she won the Gulf Coast championship including races at Pensacola and Mobile, Alabama as well as the late model track championship at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola. Long began her transition into NASCAR in 2009 by racing in a variety of series, including ASA Late Model Series, Pro Late Model, and ARCA. In 38 events, she had 27 top ten finishes, 17 top fives and five wins. She was expected to race in three Camping World races in 2010, but ended up racing in seven events. She raced in the Billy Ballew Motorsports truck in the middle of the season before the #15 team was shut down, and finished the year by racing in four events for her family-owned team, Panhandle Motorsports. With Ballew she qualified in all three races between 15th and 20th before finishing 17th, 34th and 20th. With Panhandle she had a season-high ninth place qualifying effort at Texas Motor Speedway with her best finish being a 20th place result at the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Long returned to Pensacola's Five Flags Speedway for the 2010 Snowball Derby, and won the 43rd annual running of the event by holding off Landon Cassill. She became the second female to win the race after Tammy Jo Kirk did it in 1994. She competed

in the Camping World Truck Series in 2011, driving the family-owned #20 Toyota and running for Rookie-of-the-Year honors. Sponsorship issues forced her to run a partial season; her best finish was eleventh at Texas Motor Speedway. For 2012, she signed to drive the #70 Foretravel Motorcoach/Biomet Chevrolet, owned by ML Motorsports, in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The team entered 21 events. She made eight finishes inside the Top 20, with a season best of 12th at Kentucky. She ran 20 races in 2013 and showed marked improvement. Of the 20 starts, she had ten inside the Top 20. Even with nice signs of improvement, ML Motorsports did not renew Long's contract after the 2013 season and the team would later

shut down due to lack of sponsorship. She had plans for the full 2014 Xfinity series; but that fell apart and she spent all of that year racing Pro Late Models at Five Flags Speedway while searching for sponsorship. She returned to Late Model competition locally, and was the points leader of her championship for much of the year. In 2016, Long married Kyle Busch Motorsports engineer and fellow short track driver Hunter Robbins. For her career, Long made 42 Xfinity Series starts with six finishes inside the Top 15. In her truck efforts, she made 24 starts and had eleven finishes inside the Top 20. Some infofrom
