Actually there were 3, Louise Smith (considered 1st lady of Nascar), Sara Christian, and Ethel Flock. 6-19-49, Louise Smith entered her own #94 Smith Auto Parts car, Sara Christian drove a Flock bro. car which she turn over to a Flock who blew an engine 30 some laps into the race, Ethel Flock drove a Flock Bro. car but mostly at the Alanta track, so to answer your question accurately, it would be the trinity lady: louisesaraethel.

Impossible to say, but the first woman who probably was recognized on a national level was Shirley Shahan. She drove Mopars in the Stock/Super Stock/ FX days. The mid 60s. She was from the Midwest. Shirley Muldowney had not yet made her mark.
