Join us for a daytime celebration at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum as we present the 2025 Spirit of Competition Award to trailblazing racer, author, mentor, and advocate Lyn St. James.<\/p>\n

For more than fifty years Lyn has competed at the highest levels of motorsport. She is a seven time Indianapolis 500 starter and earned Rookie of the Year honors in 1992, becoming the first woman to claim that distinction. Her r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes victories at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring, Watkins Glen, Road America, and the N\u00fcrburgring. She has twice taken on the 24 Hours of Le Mans, raced in IMSA, Trans Am, and SCCA, and set twenty one national and international closed-course speed records, some surpassing 225 mph.<\/p>\n

Off the track Lyn co founded and leads Women in Motorsports North America, previously headed the Women\u2019s Sports Foundation, and serves on the boards of ACCUS, IndyCar, and NASCAR appeals commissions. She is a sought-after speaker on teamwork, performance, and passion, and the author of An Incredible Journey and Oh By the Way.<\/p>\n

Recognized among Sports Illustrated\u2019s Top 100 Female Athletes of the Twentieth Century, Lyn is an inductee of the Automotive Hall of Fame, the National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame, the Sebring Hall of Fame, and other esteemed institutions. Her achievements have reshaped modern motorsport and continue to inspire future competitors.<\/p>\n

This special daytime event features a personal appearance by Lyn, a showcase of cars on display as part of our Street Cred <\/em><\/strong>exhibition, and a salute to the enduring values that define the Spirit of Competition: courage, mastery, and unwavering determination.<\/p>\n
