This is Christine Beckers at the 1977 Firecracker 400. She was a sports car driver from Belgium. She fell out of the race early with brake problems. Her sports car teammate Lella Lombardi, from Itally, also race in the same event. I think this is the only time in the "modern era" that 'Cup" had 2 female drivers in the same event.

Correction....there were 3 female drivers at Daytona that day. Janet Guthrie was driving.Just wondering what 'Silver Fox" thoughts on having 3 female drivers in the race would have been?
In Junie Donlavey's ride.
