Meet
Madelyn Tabor
Madelyn is an American Stage Rally Driver for Tabor Racing Team and is a part of a female rally duo with her navigator, Sophia McKee, who are both from the Pacific Northwest.
For Madelyn, racing is in her blood. Since 1998 Tabor Racing, a grassroots motorsports team, is one of the only teams in Stage Rally that’s had a car compete yearly since the team’s founding. Now, the team has seven cars that span across three generations. Her grandfather, grandmother, father, uncle, aunt, brother, and close family friends are all the drivers and co-drivers that make up Tabor Racing.
Madelyn became involved in Rally after aging out of Quarter Midgets and is open about her struggles of self-doubt, learning to drive manual transmission during stages, and some of the encounters she’s faced as she’s grown in Rally. As of 2024, Madelyn is also a senior in college and involved in a sorority chapter at her university.

Brianna Sanchez
Brianna is a Time Attack Racer, a Rotary Enthusiast, and an Engineer-to-be from Southern California.
When asked about how she started in motorsports she said, “Well I never had someone who supported my journey into cars but I watched my oldest brother build his own… constantly bringing new cars home and modding them for drifting/street racing and that's what sparked my interest.
My favorite car was the FD RX7 from Tokyo Drift and soon found out about the rotary engine. I got more involved with the rotary scene here in SoCal, learned about the different generations and instantly found the first RX7 to be favorite. Later, I found an amazing deal on my car now and the rest is history!”
