Nascar is popular because of the drivers who race, week after week, in hopes to not only win that week’s race, but to ultimately be crowned Nascar champ at the end of the season. But behind some of my favorite Nascar drivers is a supportive woman who are popular in their own right.
So in honor of today’s Daytona 500, the biggest race of the racing season, I thought I’d introduce you to some of the beautiful women behind some of the NASCAR drivers.
Samantha Busch is married to Kyle Busch, driver of the #18 M&Ms car. Model Ingrid Vandebosch is married to the now retired Jeff Gordon, driver of the #24 car. Model Nikki Taylor is married to Burney Lamar. And some people joke that Delana Harvick is the one who wears the pants in the family, and I think her husband, Kevin Harvick, driver of the #22, is OK with that. They have a system that works! Then there are some lesser known, but still beautiful, wives and girlfriends, like Nicole Biffle (Greg Biffle), Kate Edwards (Carl Edwards), Amanda Speed (Scott Speed), Chandra Johnson (Jimmie Johnson), Sherry Pollax (Martin Treux Jr.), and model Nikki Taylor (Burney Lamar).

To learn a little of more about some of the drivers’ better half, read about them in this Redbook article.
Style, class, and beauty… these women exude confidence all while maintaining their own identities and personal endeavors. These women have day jobs, they raise kids, they are entrepreneurs and philanthropists.
Many Nascar couples created foundations and projects aimed at helping or giving back to one or more charities. They work to raise money for children, animals, and camps, as well as raise funds for chronically ill children, and hospital wings.
