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.

20 degrees from Dick Trickle - an accomplished short track race car driver, competing in
ASA, ARTGO, ARCA, All Pro, IMCA, NASCAR, and USAC and winning over 1200 feature
races.

25 degrees from Maurice Trintignant - French driver.

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.
