       Daria Finn, former female NASCAR was a short-track racer who is the writer and poducer of the television pilot Secnd Wind. “SECOND WIND” is competing in the Drama category and is based, in part, on her racing experiences at New Jersey’s now defunct Flemington Speedway.

Finn, who now lives in Virginia, grew up in New Jersey.  Her father, Patrick Finn, a CBS cameraman, spent his lifetime shooting everything from the nightly news to soap operas. Her mother Joan wrote for the local paper while raising a brood of 5. Mom’s pages won numerous awards and many a night was spent doing theatre reviews.

Finn’s play “PANDORA’S BOX” was selected as a finalist in the 1998 WOMAN WORK series at Luna Stage Company in Montclair, NJ.  That success gave way to a full production in 1999 at Theatre Project, an artsy black box theatre in Baltimore.

When Finn wanted to embark on shooting a pilot about her racing experiences she enlisted the help of her younger brother, Filmmakers Alliance Vice President, Liam Finn. Filmmakers is a LA based company that supports independent filmmakers.

Finn feels you have to go for what you want. You cannot let others define you. That’s the spirit that got Finn racing, even though it meant being the only woman on the track. She’s still fired up about Danica Patrick’s fourth place finish in the Indy 500. “Danica took the lead with seven laps to go. I watched the crowd; I mean the whole stadium really, rise to their feet, cheering her on. Tears started rolling down my cheek. I knew it was a clear sign that the world really wants heroes. That they want people who fight the odds, they want to see a person whose spirit can inspire them. I knew I had that story.”
