Lindi Bess has been a NASCAR fan for many years. Living in the Napa Valley, her home track is Infineon Raceway. Having attended many races there and it holds many memories with her family and friends.

As she got older, she felt the need to find something that she could really sink her teeth into. A hobby that would give back what she puts into it. One day while tweeting, she saw a request for women writers who are NASCAR fanatics! She remembers thinking, “THAT’S ME!” Tweeting back to @NASCARKaty, asking if it required professional writers or is amateur okay.

Before she knew it, she was writing for the Skirts and Scuffs website. Finding that certain something that fulfilled her creative hunger was a must at this point in her life and for it to involve the one sport that she’s very passionate about.

It wasn’t long until she found a niche in the world of NASCAR writers. She began to write about the Women in NASCAR.

But it wasn’t enough to write about women, she wanted to interview women involved in NASCAR at any level. Bringing them to the readers of the site and to get her name out there and recognized.

Soon she was talking to people like Samantha Busch, Alli Owens, DeLana Harvick, Wendy Venturini, Amanda Speed, Angie Skinner and Jennifer Jo Cobb. It didn’t stop there. More recently she has been spreading her wings and interviewing a few male drivers including Clint Bowyer, Andy Lally and Marcos Ambrose.

Now with the WIN Series (Women in NASCAR) running strong, and her recent desire to also interview male drivers, Lindi is fulfilling a hunger that she felt would never go away, not to mention working with some of the coolest female writers in the business.

Just can’t get any better than this, or can it?
