Katlynn Leer
For those of you more statistically oriented than I, here is a question for you: is Katlynn Leer the first female to start two consecutive USAC SPRINT features? I believe there have been women start consecutive USAC midget features (Sarah Fisher and possibly one other) but I can’t think of any woman than has done so in a sprint car.

I don’t know about that. I would think Bev Griffis would have started consecutive midget races, but that’s just a guess. I do know I’m pulling for Kaitlin. She had a tough go tonight but I hope she runs more in Indiana this year

There have been several women who've made consecutive USAC National Midget starts. Holley Hollan, Karsyn Elledge and Holly Shelton, among others, were series regulars over the last couple years.
The list of females with USAC National Sprint Car starts is pretty short, and Katlynn has the most. Katlynn Leer - 4 starts Jordan Weaver - 2 starts Shauna Hogg - 1 starts Sheila Rankin - 1 starts |

Not sure on my facts or not. Some old timers like me may be able to help. Did the late Kara Hendrick not start a lot of USAC midget races? What about Sarah McCune? In the mid 80's when USAC ran some wing sprint car races. Did Kelly Braithwaite made a show in Michigan?

Thank you Mr. Murray! I knew about most of the women in the midgets, but I couldn’t think of any women other than Ms. Leer that had made multiple SPRINT CAR starts. |

The funny part about when she made it into the feature on Friday night, is at the time she finished the B Main, she didn’t know she had transferred. She thought they were only taking 4. She said that in an interview last night. Also, they said she moved to Indiana and will try to run as many USAC races as she can and wherever else she’s able to. So local Indiana fans may get to see her complete at their home track. And that’s a good thing, because she has shown she can drive.

Wanted to make a correction. I completely missed Jordan Weaver who made two consecutive USAC National Sprint starts at Dodge City in 2011. Sorry Jordan!

Did Erin Evernham race Non-Wing Sprints?
