Life in the Fast Lane: NASCAR's 15 Hottest WAGs

A certified cougar at the age of 42, Buffy Waltrip isn't just your average trophy wife. Nope, she actually owns the No. 55 car that her husband Michael drives.

As if being a NASCAR driver isn't nerve-wracking enough, you have your wife yelling in your ear, "You make sure to bring that car back exactly the way it was when you left!"

Bonus points to Buffy for having a top-notch WAG name, too.

Sam Hornish Jr. may have missed out on the Chase this year, but he can take solace in the fact that after every race he gets to come home to this blonde beauty.

Carl Edwards' new bride, Kate, is definitely beautiful, but I don't know how I feel about her eyes. Compared to her husband, she always looks super-surprised to be wherever she's at.

"Oh my, are they taking our picture? How exciting! Ooh, look, someone else is over there! This is fun!"

Juan Pablo Montoya made the switch from Indy cars to NASCAR, which has been hit or miss at best. But at least he brought over his smokin' hot wife, so I think we can call it a resounding success in that manner.

Kurt Busch may have pulled a fast one when he met his wife-to-be years ago. They met on a blind date, but apparently Eva thought she was going out with a veterinarian.

I'm sure she's pretty happy with the fact that she ended up with a NASCAR driver so she could enjoy the fun and sun that come along with being the wife of one. Just look at her—could she be any happier?

Samantha is the hot, young girlfriend of Kyle Busch. This recent college graduate may be fresh off the books, but she definitely has the gravitas to hold her own with the other racing WAGs.

She's got that kind of smoldering hot look that makes it no surprise that Kyle went for her. She doesn't look too bad in that dress either.

The best name on our list (by a small margin—sorry Mrs. Vandebosch) goes to Trisha Grablander, the gorgeous fiancee of Casey Mears.

I for one am looking forward to her spending some more time around the track, because I need to see some more pictures of this girl STAT.

Don't these two look like an odd match? No offense to Greg, but his wife is way better-looking than he is.

I mean, some people use the phrase "movie star hot," but you have to admit, Mrs. Biffle does resemble a certain butt-kicking actress.

Let's just say she can help terminate the competition for Greg.

Jimmie Johnson sure knew what he was doing when he locked down his wife Chandra. She is some "Grade A" arm candy that he can have with him at any event and look fantastic.

The reigning three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion shows that it certainly does pay to be the best at what you do. Meaning, besides his million dollar paydays, he's got a really hot wife.

Tara Roquemore and Tony Stewart may no longer be dating, but I would be remiss if I left her off this list. Tony Stewart has cemented his status as one of the bad boys of racing, and what do women like even more than fast cars?

That's right—bad boys with fast cars.

That's why Tony can look like a borderline homeless person sometimes and still managed to come away with hotties like Tara.

Lesson learned.

Any hot-blooded NASCAR fan knows Erin Bates. The so-called "Speed Queen" is a sideline reporter for the Speed Network. She's also the sexy girlfriend of driver Brian Vickers.

Bates sure has an eye for talent. The 26-year-old Vickers is one of racing's most promising young drivers. By dating Bates, he has shown that he has quite the eye for talent himself.

So, Ashley's husband Dario Franchitti is no longer racing for NASCAR, but that doesn't mean that we can't take advantage of his short time on the circuit by sitting Ms. Judd down at No. 4 on our countdown.

Judd should be every sports fan's dream. She is a fanatical Kentucky basketball fan and is married to a race car driver. She obviously loves sports.

Oh, and it's Ashley Freaking Judd. How can you not love her?

The top three is where we really start getting into the sexy time.

It's hard to rank beautiful women once they hit a certain amount of beautiful, but that's why they pay me the big bucks.

Like with Judd, we're going to bend the rules here a little bit to include Maya. Her husband, Adrian Fernandez, is a Mexican race car driver who raced NASCAR for one race, but I'm saying it counts!

I mean, if the guy can land a model like Catalina Maya, I think we should welcome him in NASACR whenever possible.

The proof that you don't need to be good to land an amazing hottie lies with Burney Lamar. The NASCAR driver was released this year after only one top 10 in his first few races.

Yet the man isn't hurting too much since he's married to supermodel Niki Taylor. The couple got engaged after just three dates, which shows that NASCAR men like to move fast in all aspects of life.

Let's hope he's a little slower in the bedroom, though...

Yet another reason for NASCAR fans to hate Jeff Gordon.

Racing's Rainbow Warrior is always among the money winners year after year, and he also has the hottest wife in NASCAR.

Gordon's wife has been modeling since 1986 and has been featured in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue. She has got the look that can make any man spin his wheels.

Although she was only a NASCAR wife in the movies, Carly Bobby (Leslie Bibb) would easily top this list if she was one in real life.

She was a manipulative, mean gold digger, but I think I speak for every man in America when I say, "Who cares?!?!"

I would let her manipulate me all she wanted.

So here is my plea for Leslie Bibb: come back to NASCAR. I hear Dale Jr. is single!
