Amazing woman, we met a couple of years ago and when she learned that my daughters name is Victoria Rose also, she gave her an autographed photo to Victoria Rose from Victoria Rose.
Smart, whitty and accomplished. Glad to have met her!

She broke down gender barriers and was a trail blazer in the world of male drivers in NASCAR. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives. May her many speed records she set and the love she had for car racing keep her memory alive forever.
