363: Racing Against the Odds: A Conversation with Lyn St. James

The Collector Car Podcast

She didn’t start racing until her late 20s. She wasn’t supposed to make it to Indy. But Lyn St. James didn’t just make it—she made history. From breaking speed records to breaking barriers, Lyn has lived a life fueled by passion, perseverance, and purpose. In this episode, we go beyond the racetrack to explore the mindset of a woman who turned ‘no’ into motivation and transformed obstacles into milestones. If you’ve ever felt like your dream came too late—or that the odds were too high—this one’s for you.
