Taylor Ferns is an entry-level professional competing in open-wheel racing in the United States. She drove for Abel Motorsports in Indy NXT during 2024, her most recent indexed season, taking four starts in a field mixing amateurs through established professionals. Her prior racing on record came in 2013, when she ran eight starts in the ARCA Menards Series for Nat'l Auto Placement and Motor City Transport, primarily on oval tracks.[1]
Her Indy NXT campaign placed her 20th in the final standings. In ARCA, she finished consistently behind established drivers such as Mason Mitchell, the 2014 series champion, and Justin Boston, though she managed to finish ahead of Tyler Reddick, a professional with a pair of NASCAR Xfinity titles and extensive Cup Series experience, and Caio Collet, a Gold-graded professional with Formula 3 and Indy NXT entries. These results came in limited opportunities across both series. Abel Motorsports, her 2024 team, has won nine races in the index and fielded established professionals including Josh Mason.[2]
