Lyn St. James recorded many milestones in a career that spanned four decades, including seven starts in the Indianapolis 500 and class victories in both the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. She also remains one of the sport’s most visible advocates for women in motorsports.

At Lime Rock Park, St. James famously shared the spotlight with actor and racer Paul Newman during the 1989 SCCA Trans Am race when the two became tangled in an opening lap incident that left one car perched on top of the other.
