Owens began racing in BMX bicycles at the age of eight which put her on a path to train for the Olympics, but she switched to racing on four wheels at age twelve. Starting out in quarter midgets, she competed in local dirt track races and then raced cars on pavement by age fifteen. Owens made her ARCA Re/Max Series debut in 2008, driving a limited schedule in the No. 12 ElectriyingCareers.com Chevrolet for DGM Racing, owned by Mario Gosselin. In her twelve races that year, she had a best race finish of 15th place, which she achieved on three separate occasions. In 2009, she and her sponsor moved from DGM to D'Hondt Motorsports to run ten races in the No. 19 Toyota. Owens had a career best 2nd place starting spot in the season opening Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona, but would finish 40th after an early accident. Additionally, she would score her first top ten finish as well career best 6th-place finish at Talladega in April, and would follow that up with another top ten in her next start at Pocono.
In 2010, Owens would race in nine events with Venturini Motorsports, who she raced with in her last race of the 2009 season in preparation for the following year. ElectrifyingCareers.com returned as her sponsor. Owens ran 3rd at Daytona in February 2010 for more than half the race before being shuffled out of the draft. She would score 1 top ten finish, a 9th place showing at Salem in April. Owens would make the jump to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the 2011 season, driving the No. 76 Ford for Ray Hackett Racing. However, just a few months prior to the season, she would learn that her sponsor, ElectrifyingCareers.com, would be unable to renew their sponsorship. She was able to raise enough donations through fans and local businesses to make it to the season-opening race, though she failed to qualify. It was her only race of the season. Owens did receive offers from sponsors, but declined some of them because they wanted her to do a bikini photoshoot like other female racing drivers have done. She would then be without a ride in NASCAR and ARCA for about five years. However, in January 2012, Owens did return to ARCA in the series' offseason Daytona test session, driving the No. 1 for Andy Belmont with sponsorship from Baby Jock. Despite this, she did not end up attempting the race there the following month. She was seeking a ride in 2012 in either NASCAR or ARCA, however, she did not end up getting one due to lack of sponsorship. In late August 2016, it was announced that Owens would drive the No. 97 Chevrolet Camaro for Obaika Racing at Richmond International Raceway, making her Xfinity Series debut.
