Deborah Renshaw

Deborah Renshaw-Parker (born October 28, 1975) She raced and drove in several types of motor vehicles (motorcycles, ATVs, and eventually Legends cars). The incident prompted a mandate for spotters whenever their driver was on the track in NASCAR and ARCA.

Craftsman Truck Series The number 29 truck in 2004 @ Michigan International Speedway. Renshaw ran in 14 of the last 15 races of the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, driving the #29 Ford F-150 for K-Automotive Motorsports. Although she finished no higher than 15th in any race, she became the first woman to ever lead a race in the series when she led one lap in the Darlington 200. Renshaw joined Bobby Hamilton Racing's driver development program in December 2004. Replacing Chase Montgomery in the No. 8, Renshaw became the first woman to ever attempt a complete schedule in one of NASCAR's three premier series, missing only one race in the 2005 season. She had two top-ten starts, the highest being eighth at Nashville Superspeedway in August. Her final position in the points standings was 24th.

Afterwards, Renshaw's future with Bobby Hamilton Racing (BHR) was unknown. BHR was forced to search for a replacement for EasyCare, who pulled out as the primary sponsor. Furthermore, the team announced Bobby Hamilton Jr. was going to run a limited schedule in the truck for the 2006 season, with Montgomery returning for the first race at Daytona; no plans for Renshaw were announced. Finally, on February 1, 2006, The Tennessean reported the pullout by EasyCare cost Deborah her ride at Bobby Hamilton Racing, which effectively ended her racing career. In November 2006, she married NASCAR crew chief Shawn Parker.
