Lois Pollard-Grant
Canadian Western Speedway Stock
Car Driver
There's a reason for the number of Lois
Pollard-Grant's stock car. "My dad had 99
and my brother had 98, so I took 97." Lois'
father and brother were one of the most
successful father-and-son racing
combinations in the annals of stock car
racing in British Columbia. So it's not
surprising that Lois has found success at
the race track....

Allison
Duncan

"I must start by stating that I owe my
whole racing career to my father. At the
tender age of 10 my father took me to the

From the minute the first car rolled out
onto the track I was hooked! The speed, the
adrenaline, the excitement, it was just
awesome!! Since that time, I’ve known
that racing is my life’s passion."
