This special award was initiated in 2002 to recognize outstanding contributions made by women in auto racing during a customary time of tribute to the legendary male drivers in our sport.The location for Nancy and husband Pete Bicknell's first date shouldn't come as much of a surprise to any race fan. They spent a Saturday night over 30 years ago sitting in the top row of the Merrittville (ONT) Speedway grandstand.
