Kristin Bumbera Moving On >From Hamilton Racing Kristin Bumbera parted ways with Hamilton Racing, Bobby Hamilton Jr's NASCAR Camping World East Series team, following the South Boston 150 at South Boston (Va.) Speedway May 30th. Bumbera's top finish this season was 15th in this last race. Bumbera said it was time to cut her losses. "I'm a fierce competitor and used to winning races and setting poles and track records," Bumbera said. "Qualifying at the back and being in the way of the leaders is certainly not anything I've done for the past 14 years of my career. It seemed that the team never really got off the ground and the morale disintegrated when I refused to pose in questionable attire for an April photo shoot for a potential sponsor. Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I will not compromise my morals to get a ride in a racecar. That's not who I am. If you want that it's out there. Those girls are everywhere, but I'm a racecar driver". The 21-year-old Bumbera was honored at Daytona in February by NASCAR and named last years Drive for Diversity Program Participant of the Year for her accomplishments and character on and off of the racetrack. She was selected again this year to participate in the program for a second season. Last year Bumbera drove for Golden State Racing in Roseville, CA earning 2 wins and 4 pole awards. She's not a driver who comes into the sport with a famous last name - yet, but has paid her dues since the age of 8 to become the highest-ranking female driver in full time NASCAR competition. Bumbera has 16 wins, 52 top 5's, 92 top 10's, and multiple track records to her credit. She plans to do some racing with her family-owned NASCAR Camping World Series team, Next Generation Racing based out of Houston, TX, but is entertaining some other offers as well.
KRISTIN BUMBERA FINISHES STRONG
Bumbera competed for the first time at South Boston Speedway in the NASCAR Camping World Series 150 May 30th. The #94 Loves Travel Stops Dodge team struggled to get a handle on the set up during practice resulting in a 22nd place qualifying position.
However, Bumbera, the only female driver in the series would drive the car for all it had for 60 laps before being able to pit for some adjustments. She continued to battle a tight racecar all night after several attempts to improve the handling failed. Despite the difficulties Bumbera was able to finish as one of
the top 4 hard chargers of the race advancing 7 positions. She would finish in 15th position, which is her best finish of the season driving for Hamilton Racing.
“I’m happy with a somewhat decent finish finally”, said Bumbera. “We had a few obstacles to overcome this weekend but I made the best of the situation. Putting my Mom in the spotter’s position this week gave me a little more support going into the race. She has been my spotter for the past several years
and has so much confidence in me”.
Bumbera currently ranks 14th in the NASCAR Camping World Series East points standings. Opportunities are now available to partner with Kristin Bumbera, the highest-ranking female NASCAR driver.
