Episode 301: Hoes of History: Janet Guthrie

Janet Guthrie broke barriers in the male-dominated world of racing, becoming the first woman to qualify for both the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500 in the 1970s. Her journey from aerospace engineer to a professional race car driver is a testament to her tenacity, skill, and fearless spirit. Join us as we explore Janet's early life, the challenges she faced in a sport that wasn't ready to embrace a female competitor, and the remarkable achievements that cemented her legacy. We'll discuss how her trailblazing efforts paved the way for future generations of women in racing, and reflect on her impact beyond the racetrack.
