Beth became a NASCAR fan when her sons started playing with toy stock cars. When the boys wanted to watch their first race on TV, she watched, too - the 2001 Daytona 500. After that heartbreaking initiation into racing, she became intrigued by the sport that values faith, family and fans.

Now a NASCAR enthusiast, Beth is the author of Race Fans’ Devotions to Go, a devotional book geared toward female fans. She also writes children’s books and uses her background as a registered dietitian to pen magazine articles about health and nutrition. Beth's professional affiliations include The National Motorsports Press Association and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Her column, “Faith on the Frontstretch,” explores the role of faith in motorsports. To
