Not Stealing the Spotlight
The partners of the drivers need to find balance between being friendly and supportive and stealing the spotlight. On one hand they are asked to attend all of the races, meet the fans, dress beautifully, and pose for photos. On the other hand, they should be more in the background and not try and take too much attention for themselves.
A wife or girlfriend that brings negative attention on herself could even harm her partner’s career. It must be stressful at times. Nicole Biffle explains that although the women get the benefit of living a very special life “…it’s not about me. It’s about him.”
