Margo Hamm

Margo Hamm is a retired NASCAR Grand National Series race car owner who was a pioneer in NASCAR history because she was one of the first females to become a NASCAR race car owner. In later generations, DeLana Harvick and Teresa Earnhardt would join in her footsteps to own NASCAR racing vehicles along with a few other women that are involved in NASCAR day-to-day operation.

Summary

While Hamm only spent the 1968 NASCAR season as an official owner, she was the employer of Stan Meserve; who had one finish in the "top ten" while under her employment.^[1][2]

Hamm's car would go 3,769 laps - the equivalent of 2,458.5 miles (3,956.6 km).^[1] After only owning a stock car vehicle for one year, Hamm made a windfall of $7,100 while her vehicle started and finished an average of 22nd place.^[1] An appearance at the 1968 Daytona 500 (as an owner) would allow Hamm to have her employee drive at the "Great American Race." However, finishing 41st is not considered to be a memorable achievement at any Daytona 500 racing event. Hamm's best finish as a car owner would come at the 1968 Fireball 300;^[1] a race that was won by NASCAR driver David Pearson.^[3]
