The event will feature roasters from across the wide range of the North American motorsports community – Drag Racing, IndyCar, NASCAR – as well as the automakers and performance aftermarket companies commenting on the life and times of Linda, her contributions and impact upon motorsports and the performance aftermarket for the past 50-plus years.
