CJ Casale

Courtney’s journey into the motorsports industry began with a setback when she was not accepted into her dream college. Undeterred, she enlisted in the Army National Guard as a 91B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, committing to a six-year term. This experience ignited her passion for understanding vehicle mechanics, propelling her to purchase her first dream car, a 2006 Subaru WRX, after completing boot camp and military school. Her curiosity about automotive mechanics evolved into a serious pursuit of building and racing her own cars.

After fulfilling her contract with the National Guard, Courtney decided to pursue her dreams full-time in the motorsport industry, while continuing to develop her career as a social media creator. Her ultimate ambition is to become the first female BMW GT4 veteran driver and eventually, the first female veteran driver in a Formula 1 academy. Courtney is proud of her accomplishments, both in and out of uniform, and remains eager to tackle new challenges that will advance her career in racing.
