Female NASCAR Drivers Who Feel the Need for Speed

Amber Cope

Amber Cope, the twin sister of Angela Cope-Ruch, was born in Puyallup, Washington, on August 18, 1983. Amber and Angela made history on October 23, 2010, when they became the first set of twins to compete in one of NASCAR’s top three series. Amber and her sister started out racing go-karts at the age of nine and were racing late-model cars before their 16th birthday.

In July 2012, when she was 28 years old, Amber created some controversy during the final laps of the Nationwide Series race when she forced lead Kevin Harvick off the track, slowing down his momentum and costing him a win. Brad Keselowski ended up winning that race, fueling a rift between Kevin and Amber.
