In a narrative unique to the world of NASCAR, Brenna Schubert is set to transition from the 2025 NASCAR Euro Series Rookie Challenge to the premier V8GP division. Joining CAAL Racing, she will pilot the #73 Ford Mustang at the top level of European NASCAR competition. This milestone debut also features a personal twist, as Schubert will find herself racing against her boyfriend, Jordan O’Brien, who continues with Hendriks Motorsport in the #50 Ford Mustang. The American athlete has always embraced a high-speed lifestyle and is now prepared to take a major leap forward in her global racing journey.
Schubert is a dynamic professional racing driver and driving instructor who seamlessly bridges the worlds of precision motorsport and athletic artistry. Currently teaching the limits of performance at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Corvettes, Cadillacs, and Radicals, the 26-year-old is also making waves on the national circuit.
Before commanding horsepower on the track, Brenna grew up training as a ballerina – a background that instilled the exceptional balance, fluid rhythm, and intense focus she relies on today. When she isn’t chasing podiums, she stays active through her lifelong love of dance and a wide array of hobbies, including golf, swimming, bowling, and roller skating.
Building on an already stellar motorsport resume, Brenna’s previous racing accomplishments highlight a rapid and decorated ascent through the ranks. She is a standout shootout competitor, having won the 2023 PT Autosport Aspiring Driver Shootout and the 2026 AE Victory Racing Female Driver Shootout, as well as being the only woman selected for the prestigious 2023 Mazda Spec MX-5 Shootout. Her versatile talent was further recognized when she was selected as a 2nd Round Draft Pick for Racing Prodigy’s P3 Championship in the Radical SR1, and she has already proven her pace this season as a multiple podium finisher in the World Racing League behind the wheel of her Toyota Supra GT4.
This upcoming event also adds a layer of personal nostalgia for Schubert, who noted: “This will also be Jordan’s and my first time racing against each other, other than in karting. I am so unbelievably excited and grateful to have secured my seat in V8GP at Circuit Paul Ricard. Racing at this track has always been a dream of mine. It will certainly be a challenge jumping into V8GP for my debut race in the NASCAR Euro Series, but I feel ready and prepared. Thank you to the Barchetta Charitable Fund and the Shift Up Now Foundation for making this race possible.”
The inclusion of strong female talent further elevates the prestige of the V8GP championship at Le Castellet, making the May 23-24 event a must watch for motorsport enthusiasts globally. Schubert is prepared to challenge the top tier of European NASCAR racing as she joins forces with one of the most decorated teams in the history of the series.
