Driving career Newhouse began racing at age five in go-karts and by age twelve had moved up to
late model racing and the ASA Intermountain Pro Truck Series. Newhouse made her debut in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West in 2012, driving for Thompson Motorsports in the No. 60 Chevrolet at
NAPA Speedway in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Newhouse had previously driven for Thompson in the
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, where she won a race at her home track of Magic Valley Speedway, becoming the youngest winner in series history. Although she had a strong performance in her West Series debut, finishing sixth, Newhouse failed to qualify for her other start of the year at
All American Speedway. The sixth-place finish she earned was the highest for a female in the West Series at the time, and she also became the youngest driver to start a race in the series at the time at age 15. Newhouse did not make any West Series starts in 2013, but competed in the Rocky Mountain Challenge Series. She returned for the
2014 West Series season-finale at
Phoenix in Kevin McCarty's No. 36 car. Newhouse was named as one of 20 participants in NASCAR's 2014
Drive for Diversity combine. In
2015, Newhouse returned to Thompson Motorsports and drove their No. 46 entry in a handful of races that year with her college,
Boise State University, serving as her sponsor when she was a student at the school. Newhouse's most recent starts in NASCAR as a driver came in
2016, driving the No. 55 Ford for Jefferson Pitts Racing, finishing seventh at Irwindale and 16th at Meridian. In 2020, Newhouse announced a potential opportunity to return to the track as a driver at Hickory Speedway in September, sponsorship pending. Newhouse publicly reached out asking for sponsors on social media, leading
NASCAR Cup Series driver
Bubba Wallace to offer to pick up the tire bill.
Broadcasting career Newhouse began working for various radio networks and racetracks as a reporter after she was without a ride in the West Series. While she was still driving in the series, Newhouse attended Boise State University where she earned degrees in marketing and public relations with plans to become a broadcaster should she be unable to move up the ladder in her driving career. Newhouse has most notably worked for
Motor Racing Network as a pit reporter as well as the co-host (along with Kyle Rickey) of their
NASCAR Coast to Coast podcast. In addition to MRN, Newhouse has also worked at tracks such as
Bristol Motor Speedway as a reporter on their public address system and jumbo screens, as well as for Speed51.com and Fans Choice TV. In April 2019, while working the
NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at Bristol, the
Zombie Auto 150, for Fans Choice TV, Newhouse was caught on
hot mic calling driver
Riley Herbst a douchebag after the conclusion of her interview with Herbst after he crashed out of the race. In 2021, Newhouse joined NBC to pit report for select
IMSA races starting with the race at
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. It was her debut as a TV pit reporter. She returned to pit report for select races for IMSA on NBC in 2022. ==Personal life==
