2012: Stacey won the inaugural Canadian CBR250 Championship, capturing her second national title with two wins and finishing on the podium in all ten rounds. The season included an invitation to the 2013 Red Bull Rookie tryout and a wild card entry for the final round of the Asia Dream Cup under the Losail floodlights in Qatar.
