Yes, there has. Several female racers have driven part time in the Cup, Nationwide and/or Truck Series over the years. They include Louise Smith, Janet Guthrie, Shawna Robinson, Chrissy Wallace and Danica Patrick.
Are there any women drivers currently in Nascar?
No. The one that is most likely to ever compete in F1 racing is probably Danica Patrick, currently competing in the IndyCar series. The USGPE team that will probably enter the F1 racing scene in 2010 has shown interest in her, but she stated that she wants to focus on IndyCar. I think it would be very interesting if women would finally compete in F1. Women are usually lighter than men, which is a big advantage in terms of balance of the car. Robert Kubica stated that his car felt a lot better after he lost 5kg of bodyweight. There have been five female drivers in Formula 1 in the past, however. The first was Maria Teresa de Filippi in 1958, the second Lella Lombardi from 1974 - 1976. These were the only female racers to qualify for a Formula 1 race, and Lella Lombardi is the only one to score (half a point at the 1975 Spanish GP, driving a Cosworth engined March). Divina Galica (1976-78), Desire Wilson (1979) and Giovanna Amati (1992) also entered, but all failed to qualify.
How much money does a female Nascar driver make?
Female Nascar drivers can make just as much as the male drivers. It all depends on how the driver finishes in each particular race. Different races have different payouts. There is no discrimination, if a woman won the Daytona 500, she is guaranteed to win over $1 million.
