2024 Indy 500 Festival car #5

I was born and raised in Speedway, Indiana—right in the heart of racing country. Being so close to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the excitement of motorsports has always been part of my life.

Along with my late husband, Bruce Jeschke, I had the privilege of co-owning several Indianapolis Corvette Pace Cars. Each one represents a special piece of racing history and carries wonderful memories from our years of collecting and sharing them with others who love Corvettes as much as we do.

People often ask which one is my favorite Corvette Pace Car. My answer is always the same: that’s like asking someone to choose their favorite child—you simply can’t. Each car has its own story and meaning.

But for me, the Corvette world has never been only about the cars. It’s about the people you meet along the way. Through Corvette clubs, shows, and events, acquaintances quickly turn into friendships, and many of those friendships last a lifetime. The cars may bring us together, but it’s
the relationships and shared experiences that make the journey truly special.
