The Story
- Time Together: The two began dating while attending Manchester High in Chesterfield, VA, in their senior year of high school They dated for eight years before breaking up in July, 2007. There were unconfirmed rumors that the two had been engaged just a few months prior to their breakup. There are rumors of infidelity as the cause of this breakup, but like everything on the internet, nothing is confirmed.
- Quote: Kristin quit her job in 2005 to join Denny on the road all season. She explained her decision:
"I never imagined moving away from home. Never. But I did. I left my job I loved. I left my family. But the alternative would be to stay here and not be with him every day. After that long a period of time being together, I knew I was going to go. I haven't regretted it."
One might wonder how she feels about that decision now...

The Story
- Time Together: The two began dating in Fall, 2007. Little is known of how long they spent together, but Kahne publicly admitted in February, 2009 that he is single.
- Fast Facts: Jenny is a 34 year old single mother who lives in North Carolina.
- Fun Facts: This has nothing to do with Jenny Severance, but we want to be clear that through thorough digging, we firmly believe that Kasey Kahne never went out with Paris Hilton. Our tireless research(aka, I called my brother who is the only NASCAR fan we know), they met once, and it was a publicity stunt in advance of Kahne signing on with Budweiser. Why do we add this? Because trust us,... we would have done a Paris Hilton post if we thought there was any truth to it.

The Story
- Date of Birth: June 8, 1978
- Hometown: Originally from Kelowna, BC, Canada
- Time Together: Unknown exactly, but the couple made a public first appearance in July, 2009 when Vickers invited Bates to stand with him on the podium prior to the LifeLock400 event. The two have been photographed at various events together since then.
- Resume: Bates is most well known for her work on Speed TV. Prior to her TV work, she held various average Jane style jobs including time as a pharmacy technician, an insurance agent and in advertising sales. Beginning in 2003, she worked as an in stadium pit reporter for AMA Supercross and Motocross, which led to her joining SPEED TV's broadcast team in the same capacity in 2006.
- Quote: Erin fits the mold of many sideline reporters where their knowledge of the game they report may not be quite as important as the buzz that some of their other attributes may generate(see Erin Andrews).
Many of these sideline reporters would be insulted by the insunation that they are well known sideline reporters because of their looks. However, Bates is the exception to that rule. In an interview with an online Motocross site, the conversation about her flaunting her looks came up, and she responded by saying, "A little T&A can go a long way, right?"
Yes Erin, yes it can.

The Story
- Time Together: The couple met and began dating in 1998. They were married October 17, 2007.
- Hometown: Chehalis, Washington
- Resume: Before meeting Greg in college while attending Washington State University, Nicole had amitions to be an elementary school teacher. However, since she now spends 36 weeks a year traveling with Greg across the country, she spends time managing the Greg Biffle Foundation. This charitable organization provides help to animals in need. They donate the money raised to local Humane Society chapters, animal adoption foundations, spay and neuter clinics, and no-kill shelters.
- Fun Facts: So now we get the other side of the story in the pit road catfight with Eva Bryan(now Eva Busch).
In Nicole's version of the story, she was not yelling at Eva whatsoever, and the two are now infact good friends. Apparently she only confronted Nicole to remind her that when Kurt Busch crashed into Greg's car, he could have hurt Greg.... because you know, NASCAR wives need to be reminded that their driver husbands could get hurt or hurt another driver while flying at 200 mph.
- Quote: Greg and Nicole were married on a Wednesday, which is pretty weird. When pressed on why they chose to get married midweek between races, Greg very flatly and stoically responded, "Because Jack won't give me a weekend off."
Fair enough. We're buying.

- Resume: Connie worked as a model until the age of 20. Most recently, Connie and Juan founded the Formula Smiles Foundation, whose mission is to help Colombian children through sports.
- Quote: So often on this site, while researching a post, we've found women who are publicly and justifiably protective of their husband or boyfriend on the field of play. Connie Freydell is no different.
During the Allstate 400 race at the Brickyard on July 26, Juan was comfortably leading the race. Coming out of pit road, he was penalized 5 seconds for going .11 mph over the speed limit. He eventually finished 11th. After the call, Connie had the following lines on her twitter page:
"thank god our biggest worries is getting a BS calll...he is the best so we will win!!!" 5:26pm
"guess the BS is not only in F1......." 5:17pm
