She arrived at the track with an old piece of shit car that kept breaking down, because she had no money. And of course, the other crews were sitting around talking shit about how she was doing badly because she was a woman. AJ Foyt (who you did NOT want to piss off!) got wind of it and dealt with the problem: he unloaded his backup car, put Ms. Guthrie in it and had her turn four hot practice laps. If it was an official qualifying attempt she would have started outside of Row 3.

All was well though; Humpy Wheeler, who owned Charlotte Motor Speedway, helped find her a team to run the World 600 NASCAR race for.
