Ashley Taws (born November 1, 1983 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian racing driver.
Taws started racing at the age of nine when her father bought go-karts for her and her brother.[1] Taws was a co-winner of the 2002 Rookie of the Year award for Canadian Formula Ford,[2] a season in which she became the first woman in the race series to take a pole position.[1] She was then injured as a passenger in a traffic accident; she sustained internal injuries and a broken back.[3] She returned to racing in 2007.[4] In 2008 she competed in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in selected races;[5] she only qualified for one race, at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, where she finished 32nd in the NAPA Autopro 100.[6]
Both prior to her accident, and after her return, Taws was sponsored by Mattel with her driving a pink "Barbie" car.[4][7]
