I never heard of one but read Jr’s sister Kelly raced. Has she or any other female raced in any nascar event? What would some cool sponsorships be for a female driver?
I believe Danica Patrick is a NASCAR driver, correct me if I am wrong.
Patrick is Indy car racing, lol, so I just corrected you, Deborah Renshaw is sponsored by dodge in NASCAR’s truck series, also shawna robinson sponsored by Tropicana and then BAM. All 3 ladies are attractive to say the least
Erin Crocker – she has driven in the Race Girl Car before…. she raced for Fritz-Bradshaw racing for a little while….and i think she may have raced in the trucks too!!!
There was another gal that raced in The Busch series a couple years ago…i saw her in fontana..she is brunette and i think she drove the verasette car..i think it was Shawna Robinson…..( it definatly wasnt Danica she is an Indy Driver)
GO HARVICK & RCR!!!
There have been 14 females in the history of NASCAR.
I have included a link to Wikipedia.com so you can research them rather than to have me keystroke my fingers off! (I remember watching Shawna Robinson’s Cup Series Debut!)
But in my opinion I think that a cool sponsorship for a Female Cup Driver would be: Champion Sports! (Don’t ask this question of hubby! He’d say “Midol” or “Tampax” he’s such a man!!!!)
Yes, there is a young lady by the name of Shauna Robinson that drives in NASCAR. There have been a few women to drive INDY and nascar in the past. One that comes to mind first is Sherly Mulldowny(not sure on that spelling). Look up women drivers on the web. Bet you’ll find out alot of women have just as big “big ones” as most guys
Janet Guthrie was sponsored by Kelly Girl (a temp agency). Back in Trans Am, Lyn St. James was sponsored by Secret Deodorant.
Erin Crocker she has droven the number 98 Cheerios dodge in busch and truck, a little in cup
Erin Crocker raced… That’s Betty Crocker’s daughter
Little Debbie is her sponcer !!! Janet Guthrie,isn’t that R-lows wife ???
Tammy Jo Kirk drove in the Truck series in 96 or so and her sponsor was “Loveable Bras”.
Tina Gordon drove Busch around ‘02 or ‘03 and sponsred by Vanity Fair and Sticks and Stuff Furniture.
Patty Moise drove in the ’80’s and ’90’s with Purex,Clabber Girl Baking products,and Lifebouy.
The women of NASCAR:
Sara Christian (1949-1950) 7 races
Louise Smith (1949-1950) 11 races
Ethel Mobley (1949) 2 races
Ann Bunselmeyer (1950) 1 race
Ann Chester (1950) 2 races
Marian Pagan (1954) 1 race
Fifi Scott (1955) 2 races
Goldie Parsons (1965) 1 race
Janet Guthrie (1976-1980) 33 races
Christine Beckers (1977) 1 race
Lella Lombardi (1977) 1 race
Robin McCall (1982) 2 races
Patty Moise (1987-89) 5 races
Shawna Robinson (2001-02 ) 7? races
She hasn’t had a ride since 2005 and she works in interior design when not racing. Her husband works as a gasman for Dale Jr.
I don’t think women should have gender specific sponsors. Any sponsor willing to back them should be a good sponsor.
go JR.>>>>
Janet Guthrie was sponsored by Kelly Girl Temp Services–Shawna Robinson was sponsored by Polaroid Film car #46–Patty Moise was sponsored by Purex and Dial soap Car #40 and Rhodes Furniture Car #14 these are all I can remember!!!
