🇺🇸 Johanna Long

Johanna Long is a professional stock car driver who raced exclusively in NASCAR Xfinity, the second-tier national series for oval-track racing in the United States. She ran for ML Motorsports, a small single-car team, across 42 starts from 2012 to 2015 before retiring from the sport. Long competed on oval circuits throughout her career in a field mixing amateur and professional drivers against established names from the sport's higher levels.[1]

Her NASCAR Xfinity record spans three seasons of part-time racing. Long finished 37th in championship standings in her final year, 2015, racing a single oval event for ML Motorsports. Across her 42 starts she recorded no wins or podium finishes. She was a regular opponent against established professionals including Elliott Sadler and Brian Scott, typically finishing behind them in races they both contested. Long on separate occasions finished ahead of Denny Hamlin, who has raced in NASCAR's top series, and Kyle Larson, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion; she beat Larson six times across their Xfinity meetings, though the larger pattern of her record was against drivers at or above her level in a series that mixed competitors from amateur through professional ranks.[2]
