Legges NASCAR helmet, designed for The Double race, incorporates Charlotte Motor Speedway and Grandfather Mountain elements. Krstolic, who also plays the flute and hand-writes messages for drivers, sees math, music, and art as different languages, using creativity to unwind from her engineering work.
