Samantha runs a boutique, a foundation for couples struggling with IVF and is an executive at Kyle Busch Motorsports, while Ashley has been a competitive polo player since she was 11. And while life might seem peachy-keen for the ladies, they share an additionally onerous task of trying to get their husbands \u2014 who are semi-estranged \u2014 back in each other\u2019s good graces.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of good graces, you\u2019ll rarely find Whitney Dillon and Mariel Swan at odds. The former brand rep and current brand rep, respectively, have been BFFs for years, which is convenient, because Whitney\u2019s husband, racer Austin Dillon, and Mariel\u2019s husband-to-be Paul Swan, a member of Austin\u2019s pit crew, are close, too. Still, there might be trouble ahead, as Whitney is slowly making her way into the racing world\u2019s elite circle, while Mariel \u2014 who says current brand reps are taken less seriously than established racing wives \u2014&nbsp;might be left behind.<\/p>\n<p>Someone who refuses to fall to the back of the pack, though, is Canadian driver Amber Balcaen, who decided long ago that she couldn\u2019t see herself evolving into a wife or mother if it meant giving up her high-octane career (she\u2019s not featured here, but you\u2019ll meet her in the premiere). Amber\u2019s been slowly building up her name around town, and has even attracted the interest of KBM. But, being a woman in the game is no easy ride, and the path toward earning consistent sponsorship is proving to be easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p>Ready for the ride of your life?
