List of female NASCAR drivers

The following is a list of female NASCAR drivers who have participated in a national or regional touring series race since the organization's inception in 1949, along with statistical totals for their NASCAR careers. While some female NASCAR drivers have transitioned or attempted to transition from open-wheel racing and sports car racing (such as Sarah Fisher, Janet Guthrie, and Danica Patrick), most have climbed the stock-car racing ladder (such as Tammy Jo Kirk, Johanna Long, and Shawna Robinson), beginning to race full-sized stock cars in their teenage years. A handful of women (such as Mackena Bell and Kenzie Ruston) have raced with the help of NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program since its creation in 2004.

Danica Patrick, arguably NASCAR's most prominent female driver although she never won, competed full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series for five years well as a 6th daytona 500 in 2016.

At least 119 women have qualified for and started a race in one of NASCAR's touring series, including 16 at the premier level. As of October 2020, Shawna Robinson, Hailie Deegan, Manami Kobayashi, and Gracie Trotter remain the only women to have won a race in one of NASCAR's touring series. Robinson won three times between 1988 and 1989 in the now-defunct Dash Series,[1] Deegan won three races in the K&N Pro Series West between 2018 and 2019. In 2019, Kobayashi won in her one and only start in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series (in the Elite Club Division).[2] Trotter won a race in the renamed ARCA Menards Series West in 2020, becoming the second female winner in the West Series, as well as the first winner in the series under the ARCA banner. She also became the first winner in any ARCA-sanctioned series, because there have been no female winners in the main ARCA Menards Series as of October 2020.[3]

Six female drivers: Deegan, Kirk, Patrick, Robinson, Mara Reyes, and Brittney Zamora have won poles. Relatively few women have contested a full season in any of NASCAR's touring series, although this is increasingly common.

History

20th century
Janet Guthrie was the first woman to race on a superspeedway, in the 1976 World 600

NASCAR has seen varying levels of participation by female drivers throughout its ranks since the sanctioning body's inception in 1949. Sara Christian competed in the inaugural NASCAR race at Charlotte Speedway (she had Bob Flock finish the race).[4] In the second official race, at Daytona Beach and Road Course, Christian was joined by Ethel Mobley and Louise Smith, with Mobley finishing first out of the 3, in 11th.[5] Through the 1950s and 1960s, female racers made only a handful of starts in NASCAR's touring series. Betty Skelton Erde wasn't technically a NASCAR driver, but she drove the pace car at Daytona in 1954, and was clocked at a speed of 105.88 mph (170.40 km/h) on the sand, setting a stock car speed record for women.[6]

No woman had raced NASCAR in a decade when Janet Guthrie started the 1976 World 600,[7] finishing 15th, ahead of Dale Earnhardt.[8] In 1977, Janet Guthrie would become the first woman to lead a Winston Cup Series race under caution, at Ontario Speedway. In 1986, Patty Moise would become the first woman to lead in a Busch Series race.[9]

In 1988, Charlotte/Daytona Dash Series (later the Goody's Dash Series) driver Shawna Robinson became the first woman to win a NASCAR Touring Series event, also earning "Rookie of the Year" and "Most Popular Driver" honors.[10] In her sophomore Dash Series run, Robinson became the first woman to earn the pole position for a NASCAR touring series race. Robinson would later become the first female driver to clinch the pole in any of the three major series, winning qualifying for the March 12, 1994 Xfinity Series Busch Light 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Women began to compete more frequently throughout NASCAR's lower series over the course of the 1990s. Patty Moise made a record 133 Xfinity Series starts between 1986 and 1998 and Tammy Jo Kirk scored 37 top-10 finishes and two poles in what was then known as the All Pro Series, before making the first starts for a woman in the Camping World Truck Series.

21st century
Jennifer Jo Cobb has competed full-time with her own team in the NASCAR Truck Series for over a decade

After a hiatus to start a family, Shawna Robinson returned to stock car racing in 1999, contesting a full ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series season in 2000 before returning to sporadic NASCAR-sanctioned competition over the following several seasons. In 2001, Robinson would be the first woman to finish a race in the Winston Cup Series since Janet Guthrie in 1980.[10] In 2003, Robinson would also have the first all-female pit crew for a Craftsman Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.[11]

In 2004, NASCAR started the Drive for Diversity program, hoping to develop a more diverse driver base.[12] While the program has succeeded in launching the careers of minority drivers including NASCAR Cup Series race-winner Kyle Larson, Camping World Truck Series race-winner Darrell Wallace, Jr., and 2016 Xfinity Series Champion Daniel Suárez, no woman member of the program has gone on to make more than one start in NASCAR's three major divisions.

In 2010, IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick joined NASCAR, racing part-time in the K&N Pro Series East and the Nationwide Series. Patrick would record a major milestone by clinching the pole position in the 2012 DRIVE4COPD 300, being the first female driver to clinch it since Shawna Robinson.[13] However, Patrick would finish 38th after a crash.[14] In 2012, Patrick would eventually race part-time in the Sprint Cup Series.[15]

In 2011, Snowball Derby winner Johanna Long entered the Camping World Truck Series at 19 years of age, being the youngest female driver to race in the series.[16][17] Long would eventually race in the Nationwide Series, making her debut in the 2012 DRIVE4COPD 300.[14][18]

In 2012, Danica Patrick was voted NASCAR's Most Popular Nationwide Driver, becoming the first woman to receive that award in NASCAR's top three divisions.[19]

Hailie Deegan, the first female driver to win a race in what is now the ARCA Menards Series West
Gracie Trotter, the second female driver to win in the West Series

In 2013, Patrick became the first woman in Sprint Cup history to have a full-time ride in the series (with Stewart-Haas Racing),[19] and eventually the first female driver to clinch the pole position and lead a green flag lap, both occurring at the 2013 Daytona 500, becoming the first woman to lead both the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500. Patrick later finished the race in eight, the highest finish for a woman in the Daytona 500. She also became the first woman to race at every racetrack on the circuit.[20] In 2014, Patrick became the first woman to race in the 2014 Sprint Unlimited. At Talladega she became the first woman to lead laps there. That year she had three top 10 finishes with her best finish of sixth at Atlanta. In 2015, Patrick tied Janet Guthrie for most top ten finishes for a woman with a seventh place finish at Martinsville. A few weeks later she passed Guthrie for the most top ten finishes for a woman in Sprint Cup history at Bristol. At Michigan she became the first woman to lead under green on a non-restrictor plate track. At Kentucky, Patrick became the first woman to make 100 starts in NASCAR's Cup Series. In 2016, Patrick led a career high 30 laps and completed more circuits than all but three other drivers.[21] Patrick opened 2017 season with a fourth place finish in the Advance Auto Parts Clash (an exhibition race for previous pole winners). She retired from full-time stock car racing after the 2018 Daytona 500.[22]

The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series formed the Lady Cup, a championship system for female drivers in 2014.[23] In 2016, a record 18 different women started a race in one of NASCAR's touring series. Julia Landauer was the most successful within her respective series, finishing fourth in points in the K&N Pro Series West with seven top-five finishes in fourteen races.

In 2018, Hailie Deegan became the first female driver to win a NASCAR touring series race in roughly three decades, winning in the K&N Pro Series West in the series' race at Meridian Speedway.[24] She followed this up by winning two more races in 2019, which came at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Dirt Track[25] and at Colorado National Speedway.

In 2019, Manami Kobayashi became the third woman to win a race in a NASCAR touring series race. She won in her debut in Whelen Euro Series Elite Club Division by lapping just 0.001 seconds from the reference time. Another woman (Alina Loibnegger) finished second, in the first time ever two women finished 1-2 in NASCAR history.[2]

In 2020, Gracie Trotter became the second female driver to win in the West Series, with her victory in the race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring on September 26. That year, the series became sanctioned by ARCA and renamed the ARCA Menards Series West, so Trotter became the first female to win in the series under the ARCA name.[3]

ARCA Menards Series

Several women have qualified for and started at least one ARCA Menards Series race, like Danica Patrick, Leilani Munter, Alli Owens, Erin Crocker, Shawna Robinson, Sarah Cornett-Ching, Deborah Renshaw, Maryeve Dufault, Toni Breidinger, Milka Duno, Jennifer Jo Cobb, Nicole Behar, Hailie Deegan, Natalie Decker and others. However the series exists since 1953, the series was not officially affiliated with NASCAR until its buyout on April 27, 2018.[62] 2020 will be the first season of ARCA as a NASCAR-sanctioned series, so the list will be made from 2020 onwards. Also starting in 2020, the former K&N Pro Series East and K&N Pro Series West are now called ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Series West, respectively.

Notes
  • a Pagan's one NASCAR start came at a combination race between NASCAR's premier national touring series (now Cup Series) and its west coast series (now ARCA Menards Series West). It is listed in both sections.
  • b Hiss failed in her attempt to qualify for the Winston Cup Series and Winston West Series companion race at Ontario Motor Speedway in 1976. 81 drivers entered and only 40 made the race. She is listed in both sections.
  • c Deegan's in 2018 and 2019 and Zamora's in 2019 participations in K&N East and K&N West companion races at Iowa Speedway and Gateway Motorsports Park are counted for both series per the source, to which the NASCAR website itself links. N.b.: other drivers to have competed in the companion race in previous years are not so double-counted, per the same source.
  • d Several women have qualified for and started at least one ARCA Menards Series race, like Danica Patrick, Leilani Munter, Alli Owens, Erin Crocker, Shawna Robinson, Sarah Cornett-Ching, Deborah Renshaw, Maryeve Dufault, Toni Breidinger, Milka Duno, Jennifer Jo Cobb, Nicole Behar, Hailie Deegan, Natalie Decker and others. However the series exists since 1953, the series was not officially affiliated with NASCAR until its buyout on April 27, 2018.[62] 2020 will be the first season of ARCA as a NASCAR-sanctioned series, so the list will be made from 2020 onwards. Also starting in 2020, the former K&N Pro Series East and K&N Pro Series West are now called ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Series West, respectively.
  • e Decker had 29 ARCA Menards Series starts between 2017 and 2019, with 2 Top-5, 12 Top-10 and 1 pole-position and Deegan had 6 ARCA Menards Series starts in 2019, with 1 Top-5 and 4-Top 10 but since 2020 ARCA Menards season will be the first season as a NASCAR-sanctioned series these stats aren't included.
  • f The series exists since 2009, but was not officially affiliated with NASCAR until 2012. 2012 was the first season as a NASCAR-sanctioned series, so the list will be made from 2012 onwards.
  • g She competed at Hockenheimring in 2019 Whelen Euro Series Elite Club Division sharing the No. 70 Chevrolet Camaro with his father (Karl Geiger) but since he started in the car, he is scored in the race results.[90]
