This week, via wikitree.com I learned how I am related to professional race car drivers
around the world.

I am:

25 degrees from Jack Brabham - Formula One World Champion in 1959, 1960, and 1966.

28 degrees from Rudolf Caracciola - won the inaugural German Grand Prix in Berlin

19 degrees from Louis Chevrolet - Swiss-American automotive designer, motor company
founder, and racecar driver.

19 degrees from Dale Earnhardt - a renowned NASCAR race car driver whose aggressive driving style earned him the nickname "The Intimidator."

36 degrees from Juan Manuel Fangio - a racing car driver who dominated the first
decade of Formula One racing and was a five-time World Champion Formula 1 driver

21 degrees from Betty Haig - English race car driver.

25 degrees from Arie Luyendyk - a Dutch-American auto racing driver who gained fame
for his achievements in the IndyCar Series.

23 degrees from Bruce McLaren - New Zealand-born Formula One race car driver, designer, engineer and inventor.

20 degrees from Wendell Scott - the first Black driver licensed by NASCAR, the third
Black driver to start a race in NASCAR's top-level series

17 degrees from Kat Teasdale - Canada's first female professional race car driver.

ASA, ARTGO, ARCA, All Pro, IMCA, NASCAR, and USAC and winning over 1200 feature

It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other. I have
some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians, physicians, detectives,
actors, comedians. I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL are.

WikiTree.com helps me gather this information with their weekly newsletters.
