May 26, 2019 Stephanie Stremplewski - The Times


Fifty-one fallen military service members will be honored by NASCAR on Memorial Day weekend.

Marine Sgt. Jeannette Lee Winters, a graduate of Calumet, will be recognized on the No. 42 Credit One Chevrolet driven by Kyle Larson for Chip Ganassi Racing during Sunday’s annual Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina.

“I love the 600 because NASCAR and Coca-Cola does such an amazing job to honor all the military members who’ve given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom,” Larson said. “I’m very honored to be able to represent (Winters) and her family.”

She was the first female member of the U.S. Military to be killed in combat since the 1991 Gulf War.

She wasn't killed in combat. She died when the C-130 refueling tanker she was flying in crashed. There was no combat involved.
