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.
