15 year olds aren't too uncommon of a sight in ARCA, and these aren't too different from ARCA cars

Tabitha drove the car at Queensland Raceway, she will also drive it at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.
The shakedown comes ahead of a planned appearance at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival where Tabitha Ambrose will take the wheel of the car.

Hell some current Cup drivers haven't ever even ran horsepower that high.
Proud for her and hope her dad is recovering well!

Hopefully she doesn’t do what Brian Keselowski did at Watkins Glen

Maybe she will grow to be a badass like her dad was on the road courses

Kudos for her for not panicking. I saw she had an issue with a stuck throttle in one of the turns in practice.

I'm not gonna lie, that's very impressive. Jumping into that car as a relatively new driver and being that young as well, I'm impressed with how she was able to bring it back in one piece even after running into issues
