n.— «The only thing Stewart enjoys more than a race car and a fight, it seems, is women. Over the course of a race weekend, he’s approached by dozens of them, each more long-legged, doe-eyed and blond than the last.

Probably modelled after “lot lizard”, a truck stop prostitute. There’s a lot of crossover between trucking and NASCAR culture.
