She could not stand watching the races, so she entered her family's shiny new Ford coupe in the race and rolled it. Her hometown Greenville, South Carolina paper featured photos of the wreck, and the town knew about it before she got home http://www. motorsportshalloffame. com/halloffame/1999/Louise_Smith_main. htm.
