Van Wieringen began racingmotocross at the age of five and eventually moved tokart racing. In 2011, she made the transition to full-sized race cars and scored a feature win at Spartan Speedway inMason, MI. The following season, she won the Outlaw Super Late Model Championship atSpringport Motor Speedway. Moving to the JEGS/CRA All-Star Series in 2013, Van Wieringen became the first female to win on the All-Stars Tour on September 22, 2013, atLucas Oil Raceway.[1]
Van Wieringen signed withNEMCO Motorsports for the 2015 season, running super late models in variousCRA Super Series andCARS-Tour events, occasionally as a teammate toJohn Hunter Nemechek. After modest success, including leading several races and earning a few top-5s, along with some frustrations,[2] Van Wieringen signed with Mark Rette to drive full-time in theK&N Pro Series East for 2016.
After signing on with RJR, she would have a less than desirable rookie season, despite qualifying on one of the front two rows for six out of the first eight races and leading atMobile andStafford Motor Speedway, Van Wieringen only mustered a best finish of tenth through the first eleven races, however she would go on a hot streak in the final 3 races reeling off three consecutive top 5 finishes to round out the year. She was awarded an honorable mention in the "Breakout Driver" category for her rookie campaign.[3]
In 2017, she returned to Rette Jones Racing for one K&N Pro Series East race, finishing third atLangley Speedway.
Following the conclusion of the2016 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season, Van Wieringen made her debut in theNASCAR Camping World Truck Series atPhoenix International Raceway forYoung's Motorsports in a partnership with Rette Jones, who provided the truck for that race. While running 15th on lap 26, she was shoved into turn 1 byAustin Wayne Self which would force her intoTommy Joe Martins and end her night early, she would finish 31st.[4]
Van Wieringen participated in ARCA'sDaytona testing in January 2020, and posted the fastest time in one of the sessions. She drove the No. 30 for her former team, Rette Jones Racing. RJR later signed her back to run the race at the track in February of that year. In the race, she was involved inthe big one and finished 25th.
2018, Van Wieringen would make a return to racing while being an intern engineer forJoe Gibbs Racing inModified’s at Corrigan Oil Speedway where she would score the pole and lead every lap up until a left front tire blew taking her out for the rest of the night.
In 2019, she would run the full schedule atSpringport Motor Speedway, and the Corrigan Oil (Spartan) Speedway, driving for Jon McNett in the number 7 Duatech Automotive Modified, winning the championship at Springport.[5][6]
Van Wieringen is aMechanical engineering student at theUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte.[1] Her younger brother, Tristan, is also a race car driver, and he also drives for the Rette Jones team, running part-time in theARCA Menards Series East for2020.[7] Her father, Murray, owns DuroByte Motorsports, aSuper Late ModelDriver development program, which currently fields the No. 5Ford Fusion for Michael Clancy.[8]
