Guthrie, who has lived in Colorado for 30 years now, will be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Friday night as the recipient of the Landmark Award that honors "significant contributions to the growth and esteem of NASCAR."

The idea for the exhibit, titled “Empowering Voters, Defending Democracy: League of Women Voters of Greeley-Weld County” stemmed from last year’s celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which officially granted women the vote — although in Colorado, women had fought for, and won, voting rights more than two decades earlier.

Since that historic vote in 1893, Colorado has been a national leader, not only in giving women the right to participate in elections, but also in electing women to the state legislature.
