Samantha Maynard
Samantha first became interested in NASCAR at the age of four when she
declared her life’s ambition was to be on Richard Petty’s pit crew.
From there, it has blossomed into an unhealthy love of the weekly
NASCAR soap opera. She is proud to call transplanted Californian Jeff
Gordon a favored Hoosier son. And some other guy named Tony, too. When
she isn’t TiVo-ing the NASCAR lineup from Friday to Sunday, she works
for an insurance company in Indianapolis. Aside from Christmas,
Memorial Day and the weekend of the Brickyard 400 are her favorite
holidays (who doesn’t like 1,100 miles of racing in one day?). Her
hobbies include writing, being a news junkie, and unintentionally
saying things that make the quotes in people’s e-mail signatures.
