50 Years after TITLE IX - On & Off the Track: A Roundtable on Women in Motorsports
Daniel J. Simone (Moderator for this Roundtable) earned his Ph.D. in History from this University of Florida. He then taught at Monmouth University before serving as curator at the NASCAR Hall of Fame from 2016-2021. Dr. Simone is on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Voting Committee and delivers presentations and academic papers at universities and automotive museums across the United States and Canada. He currently serves as program assistant at the New York Historical Society Museum & Library, where he is co-processing and researching the Women's Sports Foundation Collection and conducting oral histories and developing content for a digital exhibition.
The Symposium has provided a platform for excellent in-depth and thought-provoking presentations on the successes, struggles, and contributions of unheralded women racers and car owners across various auto racing disciplines. The green flag for this roundtable discussion will wave with panelists (Lauren Goodman, Buz McKim and Chris Lezotte) integrating these prior presentations into a brief historiographical discussion of women in motorsport. From there, the panelists will pull from their multi-disciplinary backgrounds and markedly different professional experiences and discuss why, where, and how they extended the boundaries of women in motorsports history scholarship. Finally, the audience will take the checkered flag with a challenge: to propose new themes and topics for future conversations, with an emphasis on the accomplishments women have made in motorsports without ever owning or taking the wheel behind race car.
This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
