Page "Deborah Renshaw" Paragraph 2

According to the book Along For The Ride by Larry Woody ( Chapter " Lap XIX: Women, Wendell and Willie "), " Day admitted early on that he was not convinced that women belonged on a race track " but that his problem was not with Renshaw because she was female, instead because she was a " Bad Driver.

" Woody noted that track promoter Dennis Glau had " gotten wind of the scheme prior to the race " and contacted NASCAR, who instructed him to disallow the protest.

Her father Dan Renshaw, however, felt there was nothing to lose and allowed officials to search the engine.

Unfortunately, a minor violation was found and her car was declared illegal.

The protest was not only for Renshaw, but her male teammate Chevy White.
