HONORING THE WOMEN OF STATELINE
On July 30th, 1977, Holly Osborne became the first woman to win a feature at Stateline, beating a full field of men, she represents only one chapter in an incredible story.
From its founding 70 years ago, women have made Stateline what it is today:
Val Baker — whose writing brought Stateline’s racing to life in local and regional media
Lynn Seamens — whose passion propelled Stateline through some of its best years
Jenifer Gustafson – who as GM, operated Stateline into its 5th decade, and ultimately wore the hat of “owner”
Jean Scott & Ronda Turner — strong leaders who led with passion and elevated the facility to what it is today
Lisa Catania — continuing to push Stateline forward into a new era
Holly Fry & Pat Gordon — modern-era drivers who proved they can race with anyone (Pat Gordon would’ve given Jeff Gordon a run for his money!)
THESE ARE JUST A FEW of the countless women who have fueled Stateline’s success — as drivers, owners, promoters, leaders, and creators.
During Queen of the Hill, we’ll share their stories, and MANY MORE, throughout the night.
