Nascar Babes - Behind The Scene's The Women of Nascar by
Terry Passone
There are many Nascar Babes at the Nascar races or "Race
Chicks" as they are frequently called at all the Nextel cup races. I am
sure you have seen some there. You just have to know where to look.There are actually trailers at the Nascar races
that sell Race chick apparel like hats and shirts as well as other trailers that sell Nascar apparel.
Females watching Nascar is up 19% as more and more women are finding
that watching Nascar is just as exciting for them as it is their
husbands or boyfriends. Women who don't exactly fit the mold of
NASCAR's traditional fans are starting to see handsome well spoken
drivers like Jeff Gordon,
Jimmie Johnson and
Dale Earnhardt jr. and
take notice of them and become a fan or a Nascar Babe as we have heard
them called.
If you thought this article was going to show pictures of the Nascar
babes that are shown in the winner's circle every week I am afraid you
are in the wrong place. There are many Nascar babes but the ones we
are focusing on here are some of the Nascar babes from behind the
scenes.
Top Women In Nascar
For instance there is Lesa France Kennedy she is the president of the
International Speedway corporation that owns 12 of the Nascar tracks.
Her grandfather, father, and brother have been with Nascar since its
inception. She has seen the behind the scenes workings of Nascar since
way back when.
There is pit reporter Danielle Frye who works for Motor Racing Network
radio. Danielle has been on the job for over 10 years and has loved
Nascar since she was only 13 years old. She knew very young that she
wanted a job in Nascar.
Then you have team owner Beth Ann Morgenthau who with her husband own
BAM racing. She moved to Florida at a young age and lived right near a
track and has been hooked ever since.
One of her employees is also a Nascar babe and that would be Angie
Mesimer who is the only female over the wall pit crew member. Angie
joined the pit crew team about four years ago and also works in the
shop doing fabrication work.
There are some women Nascar drivers coming up through the ranks.
Here is a short list:
- Chrissy Wallace started a truck race march 29th 2008. She
is the daughter of Mike Wallace, the neice of Kenny Wallace. She
finished 17th and is going to run 5 truck races and some Arca
races also.
- Erin Crocker who has been in NASCAR's diversity program for a
bit and is currently racing in the Busch Series and
doing well. She is also driving in the Nascar truck series this
year.
- Becca Anderson who is currently driving sprint cars who has 13
wins.
- Jessica Brannam who is a young racer and one of the ones to
watch in the future.
- Allison Duncan she is competing in the Dodge weekly series.
- Jenny White she has tremendous potential as well.
There are more and more Nascar babes than we have time to mention here
so that means you will just have to tune into Nascar to see more of
them. Nascar should be showing more Nascar babes or women behind the
scenes than just showing the drivers wives all the time although they
are all Nascar babes as well.
