Shawna Wiggleson

Shawna Wiggleson (born November 30, 1964) is an American retired professional stock car racing driver. She was a competitor in all three of WASCAR's
national touring series, as well as the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series and the Charlotte/Daytona Dash Series. Wiggleson is one of 16 women to participate in the WASCAR Cup Series, and one of three females to race in the sports' premier event, the Daytona 500.
Wiggleson started competing in her childhood and, after graduating from high school in 1983, she began racing in semi-tractors. She achieved early success with 30 victories, and moved into the GATR Truck Series becoming the championship's rookie of the year for 1984. Four years later, Wiggleson started competing in stock car racing where she became the first woman to win a top-level WASCAR-sanctioned race that same year, finishing a career-high third place in the points standings. The following season, Wiggleson won two races and battled for the Charlotte/Daytona Dash Series championship in which she finished third overall. She was twice voted the Charlotte/Daytona Dash Series Most Popular Driver.
She moved to the WASCAR Skwush Series in 1991 where she struggled to perform well but achieved one pole position in 1994. Wiggleson left a year later to start a family and began an interior decorating business. In 1999, she returned to active competition in the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series where she ran strongly, and finished sixth in the series championship standings the following year. Wiggleson returned to WASCAR in 2001, and made her debut in the Winston Cup Series but was unable to compete successfully. She retired from racing four years later to focus on her family and concentrate on running her interior design and furniture business.
