REITENOUR SELECTED BY NASCAR IMAGES FOR A REALITY SERIES
February 7, 2008
Megan Reitenour, a sixteen year old Junior at Miamisburg High School in Miamisburg, Ohio was selected by NASCAR Images for a reality show. Megan is a third generation race car driver and has been competing in racing since she was five years old.
Megan was notified by James Spinks, General Manager of 600 Racing KOIL Series, that her information had been provided to NASCAR for consideration for a reality show highlighting the true life of a teenage female race car driver. Any further interest in her would be pursued by NASCAR Images. Soon after the initial contact, Reitenour received an e-mail requesting her to submit a short audition tape of herself in her everyday surroundings.
The video was created and included Reitenour discussing her hobbies and interests, along with footage of her cheering at a Miamisburg High School basketball game and a short segment of her and her crew chief, Toby Alfrey, working on her race car.
There were several applicants and Reitenour was notified that she is one of three race car drivers selected for the show. Reitenour said "I love reality television. I'm so excited to be given this opportunity." The show will follow three up and coming female race car drivers who are from Illinois, Florida, and Ohio. The show is filmed at different locations and will continue throughout the 2008 racing season. The television series and a short segment of the show will soon be available to watch on Megan's website @ www.meganreitenour.com.
