Biography

Following ten years of karting competition throughout Scandinavia and Europe, Ågren relocated to the United States to advance her professional racing ambitions. She participated in testing sessions at the Skip Barber Racing School and took part in their Summer Series, where she earned four podium finishes and ended the season in eighth place overall. In 2013, she progressed to the F1600, capturing the championship title on her second year by executing a decisive last-lap overtake at Watkins Glen. This achievement facilitated her move up with Team Pelfrey along the Road to Indy development path. Her initial full campaign in the U.S. F2000 series was competitive but constrained by financial limitations. In 2016, driving for John Cummiskey Racing, she achieved a best result of fourth at Road America. The following year, she rejoined Team Pelfrey for a partial schedule, finishing eighth at Iowa.

After taking a hiatus from racing for one year, Ågren sought entry into the European all-female W Series in 2019 but did not make the cut for its inaugural season. During this period, she served as the safety car driver for the IndyCar while continuing to pursue racing opportunities. In 2020, she qualified for the W Series grid; however, the season was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Competing in the 2021 W Series season, Ågren scored points in two events and finished 17th overall, missing the Spa round after a qualifying incident. She returned as a reserve driver in 2022 and competed at Singapore following an injury to Tereza Bábíčková. Concurrently, Ågren worked as a spotter for the Paretta Autosport team competing in IndyCar.
