Kelly Renae "Girl" Sutton (born September 24, 1971) is a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver, who is currently a free agent. She has run the most races by a female in Craftsman Truck series history and drove the #02 Chevrolet Silverado owned by herself and father, Ed Sutton. She was the only racer, male or female, known to race with multiple sclerosis before Trevor Bayne was diagnosed in 2013.
Sutton began racing at the age of 10 before her career was halted due to her diagnosis of MS at the age of sixteen. She resumed racing in 1992 at Old Dominion Speedway, driving in the Pro Mini Stock Series. During her first year of competition, Sutton won the Hard Charger and Sportsmanship awards. During her three years competing in the series, she won seven feature races and won the Most Popular Driver award all three years.
Sutton would not race again until 1997 in the Allison Pennsylvania Legacy Series. She won two feature races and the Most Popular Driver Award. The next year, she competed in the Parts Pro Truck Series, where she won one qualifying race and the Oral B Close Brush Award.
In 2000, she advanced to the NASCAR Dash Series, where she competed in two races and had a sixteenth-place finish. She posted her first top-ten in the division the following year, before competing full-time in 2002, winning the Most Popular Driver award and finishing third in rookie standings.
