When Lyn St. James completed her first Indy 500 at the age of 45, she was just he second woman in history to race in the event. Some doubted a woman could keep up with male drivers, and Lyn struggled to get the sponsorship she needed to race. She took eleventh place, and became the first woman to be selected the Indy 500 Rookie of the Year.
Leading up to and following that high-profile event were years of struggles and successes, wins and losses - from gaining corporate sponsorships to breaking down gender prejudices. And through it all, Lyn has exhibited a unique blend of creativity, charm and tenacity that is equal parts sophisticated marketer, savvy talk show host and pure bull dog.
Fueled by inspiration and limitless motivation, Lyn managed to rise through the ranks and eventually become known as the American Woman Racing Icon of the Century. She is undoubtedly a testament to the power of determination and positive thinking.
