Owens drove the #12 ElectriyingCareers.com Chevy for DMG Racing owned by Mario Gosselin in a limited schedule during the 2008 season. In 12 races she had a best finish of 15th place, which she achieved on 3 separate occasions (Rockingham, Kentucky and Chicago).
In 2009 she drove the #19 Toyota in the ARCA Re/Max series for D'Hondt Motorsports again with the IBEW ElectrifyingCareers program as sponsor in 10 events and one other race for Venturini Motorsports. 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. Alli would score her first top ten finish as well career best 6th place run at Talladega in April. She would follow that race up with another top ten at Pocono in her very next start.
In 2010 Owens would race in 9 events with Venturini, who she raced with in her last race of the 2009 season. Again ElectrifyingCareers.com served as her sponsor. Owens ran 3rd at Daytona in February 2010 for more than half the race before being shuffled out of the draft. In 9 races she would score 1 top ten finish, a 9th place showing at Salem in April.
Owens would make the jump to the Camping World Truck Series for the 2011 season. However, just a few months prior to the season she would learn that her longtime sponsor ElectrifyingCareers.com would be unable to renew their sponsorship. She was able to raise enough donations through fans and local businesses to race with Ford team Ray Hackett Racing at Daytona in the NextEra Energy Resources 250, though she failed to qualify.
Alli married Paul Chodora on May 28, 2011. She gave birth to a daughter named Braelynn Chodora on October 11, 2011.
