ANN  CHESTER   -   ?/?/?

(home - Buffalo, NY)
was the fourth woman to compete at the Cup level.  Not much is known about her career; outside the fact that her first race was on June 18, 1950 at Vernon Fairgrounds in Vernon NY.  There she wheeled her Plymouth to a 22nd place finish after the motor blew up.  Her second start that season would be at Hamburg Speedway (Hamburg, NY), where she would have an accident and be out of the event just before 1/2 way.  She ended up finishing 21st.  These would be her only two career starts.  The Hamburg event was special, in that it was one of a handful of times that three women have raced in a top-level NASCAR event.  Some info from SpeedQueens.
