Racing ladies - Solved by Allan L, and marginally by the Hungarian Brigade

[Ray B.]

 

[Otto Puzzell]

I'll re-read the guesses, answers and clues, and take another whack at this one.

[Ray B.]

You might be rewarded. It's not  too difficult.

[Ray B.]

Only 2 ladies to find, and some are going to be rewarded by a passel of points. You put me to shame.

[Ray B.]

Worthy of pros only

[Otto Puzzell]

I've searched and searched. I'd really like to put this one to rest, but have come up short.

[pnegyesi]

Could No4 be Denise McCluggage?

[Ray B.]

No.
Time for some other clues?

Lady 4 went round and round, Lady 15 ran straight away.

[Otto Puzzell]

I suppose 15 could be Shirley Muldowney

[Ray B.]

And you suppose right!

[Ray B.]

So who can be the last one, Lady #4?

This one:

[Ray B.]

 

[faksta]

She is from NASCAR, I believe?

[Ray B.]

She is connected with NASCAR indeed, but never drove in a true NASCAR race, as I understand.
But you'll find her if you follow this trail.

[faksta]

So was she one of 13 women who drove in 1941 race, which, according to what I have, was considered an 'exhibition'?

Or is she Mildred Williams, Sara Christian's sister? I've read that she was invited to race in 1949. Pardon, in 1948. Having in mind that NASCAR has started in 1949 AFAIK, that is why she possibly didn't take part in any true NASCAR race?

[Ray B.]

No. She won a race (second picture), and not a NASCAR race, on what she says was a NASCAR race track.
But she has another connection with historic NASCAR.

Googling with the right words may lead you to the site where the answer lays for all to see.

[Otto Puzzell]

Is she related to Mr France, senior?

[Ray B.]

No. She only met the legendary Bill France once.

[Otto Puzzell]

No. She only met the legendary Bill France once.

Did she have his baby?

[Ray B.]

 
No. She was happily married.

[Otto Puzzell]

Was she married to a driver?

[Ray B.]

Yes. But not a famous one by very very very far.

[Ray B.]

If I were to tally the points now, we'd have:
Allan L: 6 pts
faksta: 3 pts
Allemano, neilshouse, Otto Puzzell: 2 pts
Paul Jaray: 1 pt
Unfortunately there's still a racing lady missing, despite the clues given, and they'll all have to wait.

[pnegyesi]

Look, what I just found:
"I, too, was a race car driver (when gals were called Powder Puff's) of this Stock Car # 92 (a '42 Ford) and won at the NASCAR Ruppert Stadium, the Woman's State Championship of NJ in the year 1950. Here's a pic of me then with the Checkered Flag in my really beat up car." by : VIVIAN A. "LUCKY" (HARVEY) McGRAW

[Allemano]

You're on a roll Pal!
