That's Peggy, she worked for a race promotoer. She's promoting the May 30, 1950 "Poor Man's Indianapolis Decoration Day 500 Lap Classic" at Carrell Speedway—a 500 lap (250 miles) race featuring 66 jalopies.
How do I know? Way back when Steve was a blogging man, he posted about her! http://booksbythebedside.blogspot.com/2016/10/sedan-delivery-saturday-101516.html
She moved to California from Texas when she was 18 years old. settled in Long Beach and went to work for Sears when she was 18.
JC Agajanian, president of the Western Racing Association, took over duties at Carrell Speedway from Bill White in October 1947, acting as promoter for the Carrell estate. White returned as promoter in December 1949. Peggy worked for both.
Peggy was Mr. White’s right hand person for years. She worked on track promotions, bookkeeping and all the other track business. She issued Parnelli Jones his first racing number.
