NASCAR History Maker Brehanna Daniels Tips Hat to F1 Legend Lewis Hamilton After Being Mentioned in His Heartwarming Note on International Women’s Day

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton penned down a beautiful letter on his Instagram, celebrating all the women in motorsports across the globe. And one of those trailblazers was Brehanna Daniels of NASCAR.

Brehanna Daniels made history when she became the first African-American woman over-the-wall tire changer in NASCAR history. Daniels came through the aid of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program back in 2017.

After being mentioned in the F1 legend’s post, Daniels took to Twitter to express her thankfulness. “Lewis Hamilton just posted me on his Instagram,” she tweeted.
