NASCAR 75: No. 31 in a series of 75 stories that helped define the first three quarters of a century of NASCAR.
The most notable achievement of Guthrie’s career in stock car racing was becoming the first female driver to qualify and compete in NASCAR’s biggest race, the Daytona 500 in 1977.
Danica Patrick may have been the most talked-about female racer in modern-day NASCAR, but she wasn’t even around when Janet Guthrie became the most talked-about female in NASCAR history. But that wasn’t enough for Guthrie. Just over three months later, she doubled-up and rewrote another chapter of motorsports history by becoming. She had previously tried to qualify for the 1976 edition of the Indy 500 but failed to make the 33-car field.
In addition to her NASCAR exploits, Guthrie, a college-trained aerospace engineer and pilot, would make 11 career IndyCar starts, including three starts at Indianapolis , and ended her open-wheel career with a career-best fifth at Milwaukee in 1979.
