Season 4 · Episode 39

Friday, July 25, 2025 • Duration 26:49

In this episode, we’re joined by a fast-rising name in the world of stock car racing — Isabella Robusto, driver of the No. 55 Mobil 1 Toyota Camry for Venturini Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series. Isabella talks us through her incredible journey in motorsports, beginning with go-karts and working her way through Bandoleros, Legends, Late Models, and now ARCA. She reflects on how each step has shaped her as a driver and prepared her for the challenges of racing at the professional level.

We dive into her breakout performance at the 2022 South Carolina 400, where she landed on the podium, and what it took to succeed in the ultra-competitive world of Late Model short track racing. Isabella also opens up about the difficult 2023 season she missed due to a concussion and shares how she mentally and physically overcame that setback to return stronger in 2024.

Coming off a strong 3rd-place finish at the Monster Mile in Dover, she gives us insight into that high-speed race, the strategy that helped her move through the field, and what it would have taken to challenge for the win. With the first half of the 2025 ARCA season now complete, Isabella evaluates her performance so far and lays out her goals for the second half of the year.

We also touch on her recent GR Cup races at Virginia International Raceway, where she notched top-10 finishes and was the highest-finishing female in both events — all while balancing a demanding travel schedule and her full-time aerospace engineering studies at Arizona State University.

From high-speed ovals to technical road courses, and from the racetrack to the virtual classroom, Isabella Robusto is proving she can do it all. Don’t miss this candid and inspiring conversation with one of the sport’s most versatile and determined young drivers.
