Joey wrapped trees with lights and parked my dream car (a mint green Ford Thunderbird) in the woods. It was a sweet moment that I will never forget. We’re getting married on Dec. 13, 2014 (12/13/14), in Asheville, N.C. We are super-excited to bring together all our friends and family in such a beautiful area.

She told NASCAR.com:

I absolutely love traveling. My philosophy is: There is always something to do wherever you are. I have always wanted to go to the airport and take the next flight wherever that may be. I enjoy Charleston, S.C. — I love all the history — as well as Mexico.

Brittany travels a lot during the Sprint Cup season as she is a regular at most races.

As mentioned above, ice skating runs in the Baca family as sister Danielle is an accomplished one. Brittany has also dabbled on the ice, but she also partakes in a few other activities to stay in shape.

As she recently told NASCAR:

I have a hard time working out with no push, so I have a trainer twice a week that gets my booty in shape. Outside of that, I love hiking, and Zumba is a fun calorie burner.
 I definitely cannot dance, but I sure do try. The hour goes by so fast and is great cardio fun.
