Like any other sport, NASCAR has crowds of fans, and many of them religiously follow the lives of their favorite drivers. Some of the details fans want to know about the drivers is who they are dating/married to. With the sport’s popularity growing, it isn't surprising that models, fitness bloggers, and doctors are some of the women in the NASCAR circles. 

Being a partner of a famous driver might seem like it’s all glam and rosy, but nothing could be further from the truth. There are specific rules that the WAGs have to adhere to, and the sport’s governing body closely follows what these spouses are up to. Here are some of your favorite NASCAR WAGs. 

Whitney Ward Dillon

Before getting engaged to famous driver Austin Dillon in 2016, Whitney Ward Dillon was already quite the celebrity. The lass was a former NFL cheerleader, and when she met Austin, it was love at first sight. The pair walked down the aisle in 2017, have been together since, and have one boy, Ace, who was born in 2020. 

Whitney might have her financial future secured by being married to the wealthy Austin, but she’s not afraid to make her own money. The lady runs a lifestyle blog, BFF and is also the co-founder of a jewelry brand that she started with one of her cheerleading friends. 

Jordan Fish

Sometimes, love takes longer to blossom, and no one knows this better than Jordan Fish. When she first met her now husband, Denny Hamlin, she was a dancer for the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats, and while they had some attraction, they couldn't date as Denny was in a relationship at the time. 

Yet, eight years later, they reconnected and immediately hit it off; the rest is history. The pair is blessed with two children, Taylor and Molly, born in 2013 and 2017. Unfortunately, Jordan and Denny announced that they’d called time on their relationship in September 2021. 

Chandra Johnson

Chandra Johnson is one of the most recognizable faces in the NASCAR and modeling industries, although she hadn't planned to be a model. The fashion star pursued a degree in business communication at the University of Oklahoma, but her stunning looks earned her a modeling contract with the famous modeling agency Wilhelmina. 

The Oklahoma native moved to New York, and it was through the fashion gigs she met her now-husband, Jimmie Johnson. The two were introduced by iconic driver Jeff Gordon, who was dating Chandra’s friend Ingrid Vandebosch. The lovebirds have been married since 2004, and they have two lovely children, Genevieve and Lynda.

Trisha Mears

It’s normal for someone to be linked to a couple of people before settling down, and Casey Mears is no different. The driver was reportedly dating several celebrities over the years, but that changed when he met Trisha Mears. The two tied the knot in 2010 and have been inseparable since, and they have two children. 

Casey’s work means that he travels a lot, and to ensure that the family sticks together during his trips, the family invested in a fully decked-out motor home that they use during his races. Trisha also has something going out of her family life, and as a fitness enthusiast, she makes sure she goes hiking whenever the chance arises.
