Meet Estela Stillwell, an 8-year-old racing sensation from Gastonia, NC with big dreams and serious talent!

Estela Stillwell started her racing career in March 2024 at the age of six. After watching a race on television with her father she showed interest and wanted to enter the racing world. Her debut on the dirt track was on Oct. 1^st, 2024, in her outlaw kart cadet division. A few days later on Oct. 5^th she parked her car in victory lane for the first time. When asked about what her favorite part of the race was, she replied “I was going so fast no one could catch me”. That experience boosted her confidence, motivating her to continue racing and inspiring her to aim high with her dreams.

Throughout 2025 she moved up to beginner box stock and box stock divisions in her outlaw kart. One of her major goals for the year was met, and she is now driving a Jr Sprint and traveling to different tracks in and out of state. She made her debut in her Jr sprint for the first time at the Northeast Outlaw Invasion in Pennsylvania and made it to top 10 in the feature. She then went to win her first heat race in her Jr sprint and made top 5 in the feature at a different track. Some of her major highlights in her first year of racing include racing in the Kids Night at her home track Millbridge Speedway and making it to A feature in the Simpson Outlaw Open Series. She is the face and featured driver of the first MW1 chassis. With a great first year under her belt she is determined and ready for what the future holds

This young racer is already turning heads and proving she’s one to watch!  Follow along as Estela races to the top!
