JANET GUTHRIE
The professional Indycar driver signed this copy of her typed resumé
detailing her racing accomplishments
Resumé signed: "Janet Guthrie Miami, Florida July 22, 1985", 1p, 8½x11. Titled
"Racing Career Highlights". Includes her accomplishments in Indy-car, NASCAR
and other racing competitions. In 1977, Janet Guthrie (b. 1938) became the
first woman to compete in the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500, in a
competition where women had been banned from even the repair and the
refueling pits as recently as 1971. She competed in IndyCar and NASCAR races
from 1976-1980, racing in 33 NASCAR races over four years (1976-1978,
1980). Guthrie finished 9th in the Indianapolis 500 in 1978. She finished 6th
at the Bristol Motor Speedway in 1977, a record for a female driver in
NASCAR's top tier of competition. Guthrie now shares that record with Danica
Patrick, who placed 6th in the 2014 Oral-B USA 500. Two years later,
Guthrie was elected to the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame. Her
autobiography, Janet Guthrie: A Life at Full Throttle, was published in 2005.
While some of her racing records have been surpassed by other female racers,
most notably Danica Patrick, Guthrie will be remembered as the female racecar
driver who paved the way for other women in the future. Fine condition.
