Ashley Freiberg is one of the most popular and richest Racing Automobile Driver who was born on November 22, 1991 in Homer Glen, United States. Freiberg was born on November 22, 1991, and raised in Homer Glen, Illinois. She is the daughter of Chuck and Donna Freiberg; no members of her family had any prior experience in auto racing. Freiberg is a 2010 graduate of Lockport Township High School; she graduated early due to a good academic performance. She does cyclo-cross, hiking, rock climbing and skate skiing in the mountains of Vermont to prepare herself for auto racing events.
After working as a timing and scoring official at her local kart track, Freiberg began karting aged 13 and achieved early success, winning five championships. She later progressed to car racing in Skip Barber and Formula Mazda, winning 25 races and two series titles in the former in 2010. Funding issues caused Freiberg to drop out of Skip Barber after four wins in 2011, but she later drove for JDC Motorsports in the 2012 Star Mazda Championship, finishing ninth in the points standings.
Although she desired a further season in the Star Mazda Championship before switching to Indy Lights, she researched the possibility of driving sports cars, and competed for EFFORT Racing in the 2013 GT3 Cup Challenge. At the season-opening round at Sebring, she twice finished in the overall top-five, and took second outright in the first Laguna Seca race to tie Madison Snow for the championship lead. On June 29, Freiberg became the first woman to win a North American GT3 Cup Challenge race outright and in the Platinum Cup class, leading every lap of the Watkins Glen International round. She was also the second female class winner after Melanie Snow at the 2009 Sebring race. The victory allowed Freiberg to brake the tie with Madison Snow for the championship lead by four points. After an accident during qualifying at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, EFFORT Racing terminated her contract for unspecified reasons. Frieberg was named a Faces in the Crowd by Sports Illustrated that year.
Freiberg moved to sports car racing in 2013, entering the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge before moving to the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge in 2014 and 2015, earning two outright victories. She debuted in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2016, running a partial schedule in the Prototype Challenge and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) categories. She had a best finish of second in GTD at the 12 Hours of Sebring, and took class and outright podiums for DAC Motorsports in the 2017 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America Championship.
In mid-2009, Freiberg drove both the Autobahn Country Club races of the Star Mazda Championship for Team GDT. She won 25 Skip Barber races and two series championships in 2010, making her the first woman to win an overall Barber Series title, and a Skip Barber National Championship race. In addition, Freiberg was the first woman to win a Skip Barber National Series feature race at New Jersey Motorsports Park, and the first to take race victories (four) in the Skip Barber Mazda MX-5 Sedan Championship. She also finished fifth for Team GDT in a Star Mazda Championship race at Autobahn Country Club. Freiberg’s results over the course of the season led to her receiving the Coach’s Choice Award as “the best all-round driver in the series.” She was also the second woman after Danica Patrick to earn a nomination for the Team USA Scholarship that year.

Ashley Freiberg is one of the richest Racing Automobile Driver from United States. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Ashley Freiberg 's net worth $5 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)
Ashley Lynn Freiberg (born November 22, 1991) is an American racing driver who has competed in open-wheel, sports car and endurance racing. She became the first woman to win a Skip Barber Racing championship title in 2010, and the first female to claim outright race victories in the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge and the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge in 2013 and 2014, respectively.
Freiberg’s earliest racing experience came at the age of 10 when both her elder brothers took up the hobby but she did not believe girls could compete at the time. However, after skateboarding, playing basketball, and soccer and studying karate, she was attracted to racing, when at the age of 11, she acted as a timing and scoring official at a local kart track. Freiberg made her go- karting debut at the age of 13, and her father took her to the Jim Hall Karting School in Ventura, California in 2004. In December 2004, her debut came in a World Karting Association (WKA) event at Daytona International Speedway’s road course. Her father supported her financially. In her first season, Freiberg came fourth overall in the regional Championship Enduro Series (CES), and seventh overall in the national WKA points standings in
- In 2006, she raced in the Junior Sprint category because she was too young to progress to other classes. Freiberg took her first race wins in regional and national karting series, and went undefeated in CES, winning two championship titles. She also won her first WKA title in 2006, and two more karting championships over the next two years.
Freiberg won four races in 2011 before she was required to withdraw from racing due to funding issues. As a result, she visited race tracks and spoke to team owners who declared an interest in her through various channels because she was unable to employ a publicist. Towards the end of 2011, Freiberg was contacted by an official from TrueStar’s driver development program Women Empowered Initiative, who watched her compete in her Skip Barber championship season. This led to JDC Motorsports signing her for the full 2012 Star Mazda Championship, partnering Juan Piedrahita. Although she entered the series with a mindset of finishing in the top-five or the podium, Freiberg frequently changed her expectations over the course of the season. She took six top-ten finishes with a sixth at the Grand Prix of Baltimore being her best result of the season. Freiberg was 11th in the final points standings.
