Racing career

Theriault's record of being the highest-finishing female driver in the East Series points at year's-end would be both broken and tied in 2013, with Kenzie Ruston's sixth place finish in the standings (that record still stands today) and Mackena Bell finishing 13th, which tied Theriault's points finish from 2007.

Theriault received limited opportunities to drive in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series; when she did; they were start-and-park rides for DGM Racing and Fast Track Racing.[1]

Personal life

Theriault is the wife of her former teammate at Derrike Cope Inc., Nick Tucker. They married on December 30, 2012, which is after the time they were competing in the Truck Series together.

Despite sharing the same last name and both being from New England, she is not related to fellow driver Austin Theriault.
