Qualified plot

"They kept moving the finish line. She kept crossing it."

In the macho world of motorsports, the revered Indianapolis 500 has long been seen as the only race. In May 1977, a decades-long tradition was put to the test, records were smashed and Indy was changed forever. That year, Janet Guthrie — the first woman to attempt to qualify for the Indy — won a spot in the prestigious field of 33 entrants. A year later, having conquered impossible odds, Guthrie assembled her own team to an astonishing success. But just when her career was about to take flight, she suddenly inexplicably came to a halt.
