OnlyFans star and social media Hotwheel Natalie Decker made history in the NASCAR Xfinity Series opening race at Daytona International Speedway on Monday evening by being the first woman in a decade to lead a race during a NASCAR event.
While many have pretended to distance themselves from her content (particularly, her +18 adult content on OnlyFans), others have gleefully followed the bombshell’s racing career with peak interest…because of her racing talent. And now, they have their “Get Out of Perv Jail” Free card with Decker’s recent success.
“I’m only looking at her racing stuff because she’s good! See!?”
Decker Becomes First Female To Lead Laps In Xfinity Series Since Danica Patrick
During the race, Decker took the lead for seven laps in the United Rentals 300, establishing herself as the first female to top the leaderboard in a NASCAR Xfinity Series event since Danica Patrick achieved the feat in 2013. Decker’s journey to the race was nothing short of remarkable, having secured her spot through the qualifying rounds, marking a memorable stint in Daytona.
NASCAR Xfinity Racing highlighted this milestone, giving Decker recognition for her achievement.
“With seven laps led at @DAYTONA , @NatalieRacing is the first woman to lead an Xfinity Series race since @DanicaPatrick in 2013,” Xfinity Racing posted on X (Twitter).
Ultimately, Decker finished in 18th place, having led for a decent portion of the race. This was an impressive outcome, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding her participation prior to Saturday’s qualifying.
Decker, like Danica Patrick, is not new to controversy. NASCAR has been a male dominated sport, and many believed Decker (like Patrick) was just another publicity stunt to have a pretty girl to put more eyes on the product. Now, I’m not saying that is inaccurate, but you have to have some skill to get ahead of the pack in any NASCAR sanctioned event.
The argument will be made that a woman has never won a NASCAR race, and that stat alone will only add fuel to the gimmick-fire. Still, she’s not hard on the eyes; there’s no argument there.
Hailee Deegan was the other female competitor in the event, who unfortunately was involved in an early collision that prematurely ended her race, resulting in a 37th place finish.
Nevertheless, Natalie Decker’s performance was impressive, not only for leading laps but also for securing a place in the upper echelons of the field during the United Rentals 300. Her prospects look promising…in racing…and there is much anticipation for her future endeavors on the track.
The next event for the NASCAR Xfinity Series will be at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, following the Cup Series. It will be interesting to see who maintains their momentum into the season’s second race on Saturday.
