Chrissy Wallace, a college-aged young woman raised in St. Louis, where Wash U is located, isn't interested in school. She has other things on her mind-- like showing the boys how it’s done. The twenty-year-old NASCAR racer is the niece of former NASCAR champ Rusty Wallace and next year will begin competing full time in the truck series (that’s the second tier of racing.)

According to the Wall Street Journal:

The Sept. 6 Nascar Craftsman Truck Series race at Gateway International Raceway outside St. Louis featured Chrissy Wallace, a 20-year-old driver who many believe will be the first female Nascar superstar. Like many of today's Nascar drivers, Ms. Wallace started competing at a very young age -- 10. She has worked her way up through the ranks and won a number of races and championships in a variety of minor-league racing series. She was the first woman to win a race at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway, a small oval an hour west of Charlotte that produced many of Nascar's early stars, including father-son champions Ned and Dale Jarrett.

This year, Ms. Wallace will compete in six races in the truck series, the Nascar equivalent of baseball's double-A farm system. So far, she's competed in four races and has finished about 20th each time out of 30 or so drivers. Not bad for a rookie driver.

Hugely accomplished for her age, one year ago Player Management International released a statement about Wallace saying:

While most girls her age are stressing over English 101 and attending college football games on Saturdays, this 19-year old racing sensation is busy winning races and making a name for herself in auto racing.

In 2007, Wallace recorded four Feature Division wins at Hickory Motor Speedway. She would then go on to record a third place finish in the point standings in Feature Division Bojangles’ Late Model Stocks and become the first female in history to become the track’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Rookie Of The Year. That, however, was not the first time she made history, as in June, while her Dad Mike Wallace was busy turning laps at Dover in the #7 GEICO Chevrolet in the NASCAR Busch Series, she would become the first ever female in the track’s 57-year history to record a Feature Division Late Model Stocks win.

Indeed, Wallace may not be at college football games on Saturdays, but she could probably take those boys on any day. Oh yeah, and she's cute.
