Nitro Nellie Goins was the first black woman to race nitro funny cars. She had an amazing career spanning from 1969 into the 1970s.
I’m so glad I’m able to tell her story even though it is a short story of how a 16-year-old started her career all while becoming a wife and mother to 4 children.
She is truly an inspiration that still holds multiple records that haven’t been broken to this day!
