girls, crew chief dads
Tiffany Daniels of Smithfield, Va., got an early
start in racing. Her dad Charlie, who got hooked on
NASCAR at Richmond Fairgrounds Raceway as a kid,
bought his first race car in 1985, the year his
daughter was born. The girl grew up at the race
track and quickly got a job. When Tiffany was 2,
she became the rear-window cleaner for Charlie's
team racing at Langley Speedway in Hampton, Va.
"It was real tight back there, and Tiff with her
tiny arms was the only one who could reach those
hard-to-get-to spots," Charlie explained.
Twenty one years later, Tiffany Daniels tore
around South Boston Speedway in her home state,
chasing an increasingly realistic racing dream with
25 women and minority drivers being scouted for a
ride in NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program.
