She Drove 14 Hours To Find The Forgotten Legend Who Saved Her Career

This is the incredible, emotional, and untold true story of Janet Guthrie, the first woman to qualify for the Indy 500, and Dottie Krenzler, the brilliant 51-year-old night mechanic who selflessly rebuilt a blown Offenhauser engine when the racing team completely refused to fund it. Charging a mere forty dollars for parts and absolutely refusing to take a single dime for her intense labor, Dottie simply told Janet to finish the race. Decades after Janet's historic ninth-place finish in 1978, she discovered that Dottie was living completely alone, deaf, in a small Topeka apartment. Janet immediately dropped everything, drove 14 hours straight, and sat across from her old friend to write a deeply moving note on a napkin, reminding the legendary 99-year-old mechanic that they built and drove that dream together.
