Sprint to Celebrate Five-Year Anniversary of Miss Sprint Cup Program

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. – July 12, 2012 – This weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway marks the five-year anniversary of the founding of the Miss Sprint Cup program.

On July 13, 2007, at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., a brand ambassador stepped into a firesuit representing Sprint for the first time. That role eventually grew into Miss Sprint Cup – a Victory Lane staple seen by millions each week. Since the program’s inception, eight women have served in the role and have become some of the most recognizable personalities in the world of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing.

In 2006, he was 136 points behind then leader Jeff Burton after two Chase races – and came back to win his first championship.
