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 (Sarah Fisher, Janet Guthrie, Danica Patrick), most have climbed the stock-car racing ladder (Tammy Jo Kirk, Johanna Long, Shawna Robinson), beginning to race full-sized stock cars in their teenage years. A handful of women have raced with the help of the Drive for Diversity program, created in 2004, with Mackena Bell achieving limited success at the K&N Pro Series level and Kenzie Ruston doing the same in her final season in the K&N Pro Series East.

At least 102 women have qualified for and started a race in one of NASCAR's touring series, including 16 at the premier level. As of the conclusion of the 2016 season, Shawna Robinson remains the only woman to have won a race in one of NASCAR's touring series, winning three times between 1988 and 1989 in the now-defunct Dash Series. Four female drivers: Robinson, Danica Patrick, Tammy Jo Kirk, and Mara Reyes have won poles. Relatively few women have contested a full season in any of NASCAR's touring series, although this is increasingly common.
