What If A Pageant Made You Braver with Caitlyn Vogel
Episode 432
Tuesday, 31 March, 2026
Send us Fan MailAir horns, a packed arena, and a mom who never thought she’d wear a swimsuit on stage, then did it anyway. We’re joined by Caitlyn Vogel, a racer from Pennsylvania and a powerhouse in the women in motorsports community, to unpack what the Motorama pageant is actually like and why she keeps coming back for the friendships, the growth, and the chance to set an example for young drivers watching from the stands.Caitlyn shares how losing more than 100 pounds changed her health and her mindset, and how she used motorsports pageants to prove a bigger point at home: confidence is built by doing the scary thing. We talk through the judging rounds (including the closed interview, sportswear, and swimwear), the very real criticism pageants can attract, and what it means to represent racing with purpose instead of chasing attention.We also go deeper into what matters most to Caitlyn’s family: giving back. From Motorama fundraising for an autism school playground to launching her Fearless and Fuel brand with a goal to sponsor youth racers, her focus stays on opportunity, sportsmanship, and life lessons beyond winning. And you’ll hear about Lizzie's Snuggles for Clefts, the family’s effort to support cleft lip and palate families with care packages and ongoing advocacy, all rooted in the same racing community that showed up for them first.Subscribe, share this with a racing friend, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of women in motorsports, youth racing, and real-world impact.Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworkandpodcastINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/https://www.patreon.com/posts/womens-network-144773298X: https://x.com/IWMANationFACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell
