Grid WAG No. 17: Tara Roquemore


NASCAR, you’ve done it again…

Tara Roquemore

NASCAR seems to be throwing up more than its fair share of pretty ladies who are inexplicably attracted to slightly overweight unspectacular-looking men, and today we reveal one more: Tara Roquemore. When she met Tony Stewart in 2006 at Home Depot (who sponsor his team), they were dubbed ‘TNT’ by the media, and their relationship justifiably explosive, as they split in 2007. However, it seems a reconciliation may be on the cards, as they were spotted together again earlier this year.

Grid WAG No. 16: Samantha Sarcinella


A lovely NASCAR lady who has two massive dogs

Don’t let the handlebar moustaches and toothless grins fool you - the likes of Ingrid Vandebosch and Athena Barber have made the modern NASCAR track a thoroughly sexy place to be. Joining this tour-de-force of hotness is Samantha Sarcinella, who has been seeing Kyle ‘Wild Thing’ Busch since 2007.

So who feels sorry for Kyle Busch?


Nascar’s driver of the year blows his whole season in three races

emp-5617963.jpg

In a recent poll in Sports Illustrated, Kyle Busch’s fellow Nascar pros voted him as the most talented driver on the circuit. Had the same drivers been polled on the more subjective issue of popularity, Busch would have finished bottom of the heap. He has earned a reputation as a sulky, surly, cocky asshat, albeit a sulky, surly, cocky asshat who has won more races this year than anyone else.

At the start of the Nascar Sprint Cup Chase (Nascar’s play-off system, essentially), Busch held a big lead over his rivals, thanks to a stellar regular season. Three disastrous races into the Chase, Busch finds himself more than 300 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson, with virtually no chance of winning the title.

Grid WAG No. 8: Ingrid Vandebosch


The best thing about NASCAR ain’t the driving…

The NASCAR drivers who voted yesterday’s Grid Girl of the Day Athena Barber as the sexiest WAG on the track may have missed a trick by denying Ingrid Vandebosch top spot. She is a Belgian model who married wheel jockey Jeff Gordon in 2006, and thoroughly earned a centerpiece position in the ‘Athelete’s Wives’ section of the Sports Illustrated 2008 Swimsuit Issue.

Grid WAG No. 7: Athena Barber


The hottest WAG in NASCAR has abdicated from her throne

In 2007, Sports Illustrated surveyed NASCAR drivers on the questions that really matter. Somehow, the optimum length of a handlebar moustache was never discussed, but the hottest WAG on the circuit was declared as Athena Barber, meaning there were many pairs of envious eyes staring at Clint Bowyer come race day.

Sunday’s IndyCar event saw an even closer finish, and a new champion for 2008. Watch it after the jump…

Marissa is a former surfer and current Sports Illustrated model, who dated Dale briefly after she divorced her first husband in 2002. More staggering pictures of Miss Miller after the jump…
