Gwen Filterbock

**Gwen Filterbock** is a YT Xfinity racer driving for GothikXenon and numbered 07.

## Bio

*”Gwen Filterbock is one of the least social racers in the series. She never follows any trends, and is very specific about who she befriends. When she was 2, her father died of a pulmonary embolism, and her mother never remarried. Growing up without a father was a bit tough on Gwen, so she became a goth. Still, she enjoyed helping out her mom in her childhood, and had tons of fun with her little brother, too. Her favourite childhood hobby was going downtown on the weekends to sketch some art. When she was 16, she auditioned for Total Drama on a dare, and ended up on the show, much to her annoyance. She placed second that season, and returned for seasons 2, 3, 4, and 5. After that, she began to develop an interest in racing, and eventually wound up a Piston cup racer along with an artist. Her boyfriend, Trent, whom she met on Total Drama and had recently got back into a relationship with, and married in 2021, became her crew chief, and her pit crew consists of people she met on TD, and her personal friends.”*

## Racing Career

Gwen Filterbock made her racing debut at the 2022 Bumper $ave Gears & Glory 450, ”replacing” Will Rusch. She placed 6th in the 2022 Los Angeles 500, and 7th in the 2023 Florida 500. She received severe damage in the wreck on the final lap of the SoftBank 350, requiring her to be hospitalized in Tokyo for a week. In the Dinoco 400, she was involved in the crash, but this time, she continued the race despite suffering damage. She would finish the race, and the season, in 10th. Over the rest of her career, she would perform high, often scoring podiums and race wins. She would be one of 11 racers to still be racing by the 2035 Los Angeles 500. After that, she retired, and let Robyn Bashman replace her for the 2036 Florida 500. Though she performed poor, and was eventually fired after 2038 for Gwen’s daughter, Erika Filterbock.

## Personality

Gwen is a goth whose interests are art and astronomy. She is smart, independent, kind hearted and level-headed, stating her best quality is her inability to get excited over minuscule things. She is cautious of whom she lets into her life, but beneath her tough exterior, there is a kind heart that learns to trust.

## Relationships

The most obvious relationship Gwen has is she is the wife of her crew chief, Trent McCord. She also gets along well with the rest of her crew and her hauler. She doesn’t consider a lot of her fellow competitors sane, but IS friends with Henry Dahl, Stan Candyman, Conrad Candyman, Greg Candyman II, Sage VanDerSpin, jr., Steve Inngas, Joseph Broadworks, Keith Raceholt, Luna Farringtyre, and Raoul CaRoule II, as well as having top respect for the nine other female racers in the Xfinity Gen: Becky Wipeout, Penny Fuelester, Skylor Chen, Kelly Fitzsimmon, Carly Fitzsimmon, Melissa Trenchwell, and 3 other racers whose names aren’t known as of Oct. 12, 2021. Her number one enemy is Alfred Gearpedals, who constantly calls her “Gothie”, which makes her have PTSD flashbacks of when another Total Drama contestant, Courtney, wanted to kill her over her boyfriend, Duncan, cheating on her with Gwen.

## In The Diecast Line

Gwen was first released as a 2022 single in Case I. She was also released in Case M that year. In 2023 she would release in Case G. Her only pack release was in the Florida 11-pack.
