Dario Franchitti’s wife is more famous than him

Dario Franchitti, who defected from IndyCar to Nascar at the end of the 2007 season, is one of the best-known racing drivers in the States. The Scot won the IndyCar championship in 2007 but he’s still not quite as famous as his wife, Ashley Judd. The actress, who starred in Kiss the Girls and Double Jeopardy often attends her husband’s races, and was present to see him win the Indy 500 last year, when it pissed it down and her summer dress was soaked - a paparazzo’s dream. Check out more photos of Ashley below, plus a bonus video clip of her being interviewed after the 2007 Indy 500.

With friend Danica Patrick, one of her husband’s racing rivals (until this season: Patrick continues to race in IndyCar, whilst Franchitti now plies his trade in Nascar).

Oh my god, she knows about understeer and downforce and everything.
