LADIES FIRST: Dottie Patria Among Oxford’s Best
Crazy Horse Racing Powers Patria To Top Of Ladies Division
It took exactly two turns behind the wheel of a race car for Dottie Patria to become addicted to the sport of stock car racing.
Patria, of Turner, has turned that addiction into an assault on the Oxford Plains Speedway record books over the past seven years. With her 20-lap Ladies feature win at the track on Opening Day two weeks ago, Patria sits just two victories away from second on the all-time win list in the division.
“After the first race, I was like, ‘Eh. It’s OK,’” Patria recalled this week. “I was glad I tried it, but it if I’d never raced again I would have been OK with that. But I was committed to running two races, and after the second race, I was hooked. It was like, ‘I LOVE THIS.’” (more…)
