WORDS OF WISDOM FROM RACE CAR DRIVER JANET GUTHRIE, SUBJECT OF THE ESPN DOCUMENTARY "QUALIFIED"



"There have always been achieving women.  There were successful women auto racers at the turn of the century. You can go back to antiquity to find women doing extraordinary things, but their history is forgotten or denied ever to have existed.  So women keep re-inventing the wheel.  Women have always done these things and they always will.'"

     - Race car driver Janet Guthrie, when asked about the                       significance of being among the first group of women                      inducted into the Women's Sports Hall of Fame in 1980

Qualified, the documentary about Janet Guthrie, premiers on ESPN on Tuesday, May 28th, at 8 and 9:30 p.m.  After Tuesday, the film can be viewed streaming on the ESPN App and on ESPN+
