The “Miss Sprint Cup” lineup has changed and shifted throughout the years of the program’s existence, but it’s very uncommon that the lineup changes mid-season – until now.

It was announced via the Miss Sprint Cup facebook page Wednesday evening that Paige Duke who has spent the last couple of years as a Miss Sprint Cup, will no longer be in the program.

Hey fans, Paige Duke is no longer with the Miss Sprint Cup team. We wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors. Thank you for your continued support of the Miss Sprint Cup program as we continue to bring you closer to the NASCAR action each and every week.

No word yet on the reasoning behind Duke leaving the team, but she did post a tweet on her twitter account Tuesday evening, about 24 hours before the facebook post was made public.

“I need some prayers tonight…” Duke posted on twitter.

We certainly hope everything is okay with Paige Duke, and we will keep you posted on this story as more updates come to light.

UPDATE: Chris Madigan who is part of the public relations team for Sprint verified with me that Duke is no longer part of the Miss Sprint Cup team, but he didn’t really elaborate on the situation via email Wednesday night.

“Paige is no longer with the Miss Sprint Cup program. Weâll all miss her and wish her nothing but the best in her future,” said Madigan.
