Fantasy NASCAR Racing

(home - San Antonio, TX)
She had a brief Winston Cup career in 1982, entering four races and starting two, both at Michigan.  She did not qualify for two races at Charlotte, the first of which she entered a couple of days after graduating from high school. Her car was a Buick, owned by Jim Stacy.  She did not finish either Michigan race, due to an engine failure at about half-distance in the first race and a crash early on the second.  This was the end of her time in NASCAR; she had signed a five-year deal with Jim Stacy Racing but was unable to find the necessary funds to keep her seat.   Robin had been racing full-sized stock cars for less than two years when she made her Cup debut, although she had been a successful midget racer from the age of eight. Throughout the 1970's she won multiple titles in her home state of Texas and beyond, including a Grand National championship in 1979.  She spent 1981 racing in the All Pro Super Series in a Pontiac Firebird.  She was linked with a 1984 NASCAR drive for TG Sheppard’s team, which was considering offering her a backup driver role, but this did not happen.  She raced in the IMSA championship and in the 1985 Daytona
