I live in NASCAR country, but it's not my cup of tea in sports, but I'm still embarrassed I've never heard of her.

Good for her! Tough sport for anyone to crack, specially someone of her age and gender.

She and the woman Fearless mentioned are the only ones on this thread I didn't recognize, so thanks for sharing!
