The 23-year-old racer, who participated in three ARCA races last year with her best finish being 13th at Iowa Speedway, announced this partnership as she looks forward to the 2026 season.

Sirvent Reflects on the Barbie Partnership
Regina Sirvent expressed deep appreciation for being selected by Barbie, which she says honors authentic stories meant to inspire young girls. She shared,
“It’s a huge honor that Barbie chose me to be their Barbie Role Model, which is a tribute to real stories that can inspire other girls,”
Regina Sirvent stated.
She added,
“And what moves me the most is that they’re not telling a perfect story, they’re telling a real story. A story of failures and victories, of sacrifices, frustrations, exciting moments, hard work… of throwing cookies at him even when it seemed easier to give up.”
Sirvent also reflected on the impact her representation could have on young girls, remarking,
“I never imagined having a Barbie inspired by me, let alone imagine that seeing it, a girl can feel that there is also space for her on the runways, that she can also try, that she can belong. And if this story manages to make even a girl take that first step, then the whole road will have been worth it.”
