For the 2016 season, Behar signed a development deal with the better resourced David Gilliland Racing to run the CARS Super Late Model Tour, but parted ways with the outfit amid unclear circumstances after attempting and starting only one of the first three races.[3] Undeterred, Behar started and finished third in her ARCA Racing Series debut that June at Madison International Speedway, driving a Toyota for Venturini Motorsports.[4] Subsequently, Behar returned to the K&N Pro Series West for four starts, adding four top-10 finishes for a career total of fifteen, a record among female K&N Pro Series West drivers.
