About Me:

#8 Super Late Model driver sponsored by Quick Lane of Plymouth at Blackwell Ford, JD Racing Indoor Karting in Novi and Sunny Media Group advertising agency in Livonia.

Clariy Newhose Bio:

April 25, 2015, at Flat Rock Speedway wasn’t just the first super late model race for Clarity Newhouse, it was her first race ever of any kind. When asked how it all got started, Clarity points to a Rusty Wallace Racing Experience at MIS on October 18, 2014.

“I did well and had such a great time that I went home that day and posted on Facebook, ‘Aspiring race car driver seeks sponsor, car and race to enter.’ Of course I was just kidding since at that point it hadn’t occurred to me that a women approaching forty could really start racing.”

People who saw Clarity’s Facebook post did take her seriously and that’s how she first met 2014 Flat Rock Speedway Outlaw Late Model Champion Steve Cronenwett Jr. “When Steve started asking me questions about my interest in racing, it was great because he wasn’t even the slightest bit condescending or skeptical,” said Clarity. “He was completely serious and encouraging from day one. When Steve asked me, ‘is this something you really want to do,’ at that moment I realized the answer was absolutely yes.

Now that Clarity had a coach and a plan to start racing at Flat Rock Speedway in April, there was a lot of work to do. First of all she didn’t have a race car. Steve’s father had a super late model he was willing to sell, so the three of them met and decided to team up and rebuild the car for Clarity. “Working with the Cronenwetts is a great,” said Clarity. “‘If you’re going to do it, do it right’ is a philosophy we share and I love being part of the team.”

It’s also a philosophy shared by Clarity’s sponsors, Quick Lane of Plymouth at Blackwell Ford and JD Racing Indoor Karting in Novi who enthusiastically stepped up when they heard Clarity’s plans. Both companies are clients of Sunny Media Group, the advertising agency Clarity owns, so they already know the high level of commitment Clarity brings to her work.

At home, no one in Clarity’s family or her husband Dana’s, had any experience racing so this was entirely new territory for them. “It was quite a surprise when I came home and told Dana what I wanted to do. Fortunately he is very supportive and after he got over the initial shock, Dana enthusiastically joined in.”

Dana and many others have asked Clarity why she’s racing. “I’ve always enjoyed doing things that aren’t expected of me,” said Clarity. “Throughout my life I’ve become accustomed to starting from an underdog position, so I’m comfortable with that and there’s a certain satisfaction in achieving the unexpected. Today there aren’t a lot of women in motorsport and I hope to inspire others to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams.”

As a child, Clarity spent most of her growing up years in rural Montana were electricity and indoor plumbing were luxuries, and horses where a regular form of transportation. The only person who doesn’t seem surprised about Clarity’s entry into motorsport is her mother Pearl, who recalls Clarity racing bareback as fast as her horse could go across the countryside, long before Clarity was old enough to drive a car. “The way she handled that horse, I’m not a bit surprised she can handle a race car,” said Pearl.

Clarity is dedicating her 2014 season at Flat Rock Speedway to the women of the United States Marine Corps. She will be donating 100% of her winnings from each feature race to the Women Marines Association.

“When I decided to drive a race car somebody told me I must be really brave and tough. There are many brave, tough women and when I think of the bravest and the toughest, I think of the Marines. I’m grateful for their service to our country and humbled to race in their honor.”

On Clarity’s website you can also learn about the Race Car Mobile Science Lab sponsored by Quick Lane of Plymouth at Blackwell Ford, JD Racing Indoor Karting and Sunny Media Group, that Clarity created for schools to help inspire young girls to consider careers in automotive and engineering related fields.
