FACTS OF THE DAY
• The Grevy's zebra is named for Jules Grevy, a former president of France who received one in 1882 as a diplomatic gift from King Menelik II of Abyssinia (now Ethiopia). A representative from the Paris museum of natural history noticed this zebra was different from other known zebras — taller, with narrower stripes and a distinctive white belly. He gave it the scientific name Equus grevyi in Grevy's honor. King Menelik presented Grevy's zebras to England's Queen Victoria and President Theodore Roosevelt as well.
• The first woman to compete in a NASCAR race was Sara Christian, who drove a Ford owned by her husband, Frank, at Charlotte Speedway on June 19, 1949. At the end of the 1949 season, Sara Christian was ranked No. 13 overall. She raced in six of the eight NASCAR events, including the July 10 race at Daytona Beach where the field also included Ethel Mobley and Louise Smith — the first NASCAR race that included three female drivers.
