Janet Guthrie will be honored by NASCAR Hall of Fame nearly 44 years after her final Cup race
Janet Guthrie says she grew up “out in the woods of southwest Miami," the oldest of five children with a reclusive mother who limited the family social life to time with relatives. “I borrowed my sister's horse and rode across the tomato fields — those are all housing developments now — to this little grass (air) field and asked for a job working the line, starting the planes by swinging the props, checking their oil, this and that,” Guthrie said. Nearly 44 years after her 33rd and final race in NASCAR, she is set to be honored for her career.
