In the 2021 NASCAR season, Natalie Decker is competing in the Xfinity Series on a part-time basis. Of course, this means that she has a limited number of appearances in the series. However, she is not going to sit idle until her next Xfinity call-up. Instead, she is set to compete in a Trans-Am race weekend from March 18 to 21.
As it turns out, Decker has a fair amount of experience in the Trans Am arena. This is because she competed in the West Coast Trans Am Series in the Audi R8 with Ave Motorsports.
As per reports, she is expected to get behind the wheel of the Ave Motorsports Audi R8 yet again at the famous Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval.

Natalie Decker said, “I’m so excited to be racing at the Charlotte Roval. I have never raced there before.
“I have raced the Audi R8 with Ave motorsports three times and I love this car! It’s a beautiful race car. You can drive these cars so hard, there is traction control and ABS. I’m so thankful that N29 and Red Street Records will be supporting me for this race!
“I love racing in these different series, everyone is always so welcoming and excited for us to be there! Thank you to all my fans, I wouldn’t be here without you!”
