Hayden Wise adds a new chapter to her rising career with an Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota Rookie of the Year campaign in 2025.<\/p>\n
The 14-year-old driver will race in a family-owned No. 94 Toyota-powered Midget for her first foray into national Midget racing.<\/p>\n
The Huntersville, NC driver got her start in Quarter Midgets, with championships in the NASCAR Youth Series and Dixie Shootout Series before stepping up the ladder to micro sprints.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pretty much got comfortable in (the Quarter Midget) at a young age,\u201d Wise said. \u201cAs soon I was done, I hopped right into the Micro and I\u2019ve been going out to (Trackhouse Motorplex) since I was 10 to get some more seat time. It\u2019s really all about getting comfortable and all these cars are pushing my limit to get that comfortable. I\u2019m really excited for this year, so we\u2019ll see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wise knows the benchmark of family members who raced before her, as her uncle Josh Wise is a former NASCAR Cup Series competitor. Growing up in a racing family, she knows that the guidance in her rookie year will be second to none.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gonna feel good knowing that I have the support of my family,\u201d Wise said. \u201cI\u2019m very grateful that they take me out to race every week with them, so I can\u2019t thank my dad and pop enough. It\u2019s really cool to have that support from all of my family, my mom, my sisters, and my grandparents. It\u2019s just awesome having them there for me to take me along the racing journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wise can try her hand at multiple disciplines in 2025, as she will get to race the Midget, Micro Sprint, and Sprint Car for 94 Racing to craft her experience and familiarity in dirt racing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year is gonna be a lot of work because all of this year is gonna be lots of learning for me,\u201d Wise said. \u201cI really just have to get a lot of seat time between the Sprint Car, the Midget, and getting prepared for next year because we have a lot coming. This year is all about getting comfortable and being able to give my effort 100% every time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking forward to the schedule ahead of her, Wise is interested in traveling to the Xtreme Appalachian Midget Week<\/i>, California Sprint Car events, and the Xtreme World Championship<\/i> at Millbridge Speedway – her home track.<\/p>\n
\u201cDefinitely the (Pennsylvania) tracks,\u201d Wise said. \u201cI\u2019m really excited to check out some of those places. We\u2019ll be going to California too, so that\u2019ll be fun for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited for (Millbridge) too. It\u2019s definitely gonna be a lot different from what I\u2019ve been doing. There\u2019s gonna be some really good drivers and that\u2019s one I\u2019m really focusing on giving my best for my family. When I hit the track, it\u2019s really making sure I pay attention to how I\u2019m driving and doing what I need to do to get better at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
