Freightliner truck dealer and longtime road racing supporter, TPL Motorsports Racing team owner and sponsor Rod Snyder of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada sent in this photo and a note:

“Here is our dog Katja, she was rescued from a reserve in northern Canada. My girlfriend and son got to pick the dog so I got to name her. I wanted a racer dog so I decided “Katja” after Katja Poensgen which I felt was fitting because she is fast and pretty!”

Do you have a pet named after a famous racer, or know someone else who has a pet named after a famous racer?
