Eva is the wife of NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Kurt Busch. The couple was married on July 27, 2006, three years to the day from their first date.
The two met on a blind date following the Pocono race on July 27, 2003. Eva though she was going out with a veterinarian.
"She probably wouldn't have come to meet a redneck racer," Busch said. (Sportingnews.com)
After two years of dating, Kurt realized that Eva has what it takes to become Mrs. Kurt Busch:
"She shops well, is good with the credit card and looks good sitting on the pit box." ~ Kurt Busch (NASCAR.com)
During the last off week of the 2005 Nextel Cup season, the couple vacationed to Prague to take in a Hungarian Grand Prix Formula One race.
In my mind, the backbone of the trip was to propose to Eva in Prague. I had it all in my mind, but Eva and her aunt and uncle thought we were just going on vacation. ~ Kurt Busch (thatsracin.com)
