Poorly sourced and advertorially toned WP:BLP of a sportswoman, making no strong or credible claim of notability under WP:NSPORT. The first discussion was about the same person, but this version is written differently enough that I don't feel comfortable speedying it on that basis — amusingly, that version parked her notability mainly on the NASCAR claims and then passingly mentioned CrossFit as an afterthought, while this version does the exact opposite. But this is sourced only to the subject's own self-published content about herself, citing no reliable source coverage for any of it, and even the claims themselves are vague and not readily measurable against our actual inclusion standards. I suppose it might be possible to write a better-sourced and more substantive and neutral article about her than this, so I'm willing to withdraw this if the article sees improvement before closure — but it's not entitled to stick around looking like this. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 06:19, 26 January 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Regardless of her accomplishments, the subject isn't a notable personage. None of the noted 'achievements' confers notability, and even as a group, they amount to someone who's above-average but who still doesn't pass the notability standards. (As a footnote to Bearcat's note on how the article "mirror-images" the original one in focus, it's because (what the article in this version noticably omits) her NASCAR career ended before it began; she did not work on a pit crew at even a single NASCAR race for the named team before being released ). - The Bushranger One ping only 10:59, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
