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.

At least 134 women have qualified for and started a race in one of NASCAR's national or regional touring series, including 16 in the NASCAR Cup Series since the organization's inception in 1949. As of November 2024, Shawna Robinson, Hailie Deegan, Manami Kobayashi, and Gracie Trotter remain the only women to have won a race in one of NASCAR's touring series. Robinson won three times between 1988 and 1989 in the now-defunct Dash Series, Deegan won three races in the K&N Pro Series West between 2018 and 2019. In 2019, Kobayashi won in her one and only start in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series (in the Elite Club Division). Trotter won a race in the renamed ARCA Menards Series West in 2020, becoming the second female winner in the West Series, as well as the first winner in the series under the ARCA banner. She also became the first winner in any ARCA-sanctioned series, because there have been no female winners in the main ARCA Menards Series as of November 2024.

Seven female drivers: Deegan, Kirk, Patrick, Robinson, Mara Reyes, Brittney Zamora, and Isabella Robusto have won poles. Relatively few women have contested a full season in any of NASCAR's touring series, although this is increasingly common. During the 2024 season there were only 3 females running a full season Hailie Deegan (who was released before season's end), Breidinger, and Amber Balcaen.

While some female NASCAR drivers have transitioned or attempted to transition from open-wheel racing and sports car racing (such as Sarah Fisher, Janet Guthrie, Patrick, and Katherine Legge), most have climbed the stock-car racing ladder (such as Tammy Jo Kirk, Johanna Long, and Shawna Robinson), beginning to race full-sized stock cars in their teenage years. A handful of women (such as Fisher, Mackena Bell and Kenzie Ruston) have raced with the help of NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program since its creation in 2004.

Currently, Katherine Legge is the only woman in the NASCAR Cup Series, with her start at Phoenix Raceway in March 2025 being the first with a woman in the Series since Danica Patrick in the 2018 Daytona 500. On April 10, 2025, it was announced that Legge was bringing her e.l.f. sponsorship over from the Indianapolis 500, spreading it across the NASCAR Xfinity Series as the only woman racing in that series and the Cup Series for at least seven races in 2025. The first e.l.f. race would be in Xfinity on April 19 at Rockingham Speedway and her next Cup race would be at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 15. Other races revealed include the Xfinity race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Memorial Day Weekend, ruling out a return to the 2025 Indy 500.

Additionally, Toni Breidinger, is the only woman currently competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2025.
