CHARLOTTE LUCAS
 Roots in Crawford County remain a part of Lucas’ life as she and her husband, Forrest, also enjoy homes in other states and are at the helm of various enterprises that span the globe. While their expansive Lucas Oil Products, Inc., operation is based in Corona, Calif., employs 400 to 450 people, and exports to several countries, 70 percent of its products come from its manufacturing plant in Corydon, Ind.
Their other businesses in various states include a cow ranch, auto and drag boat racetracks, and MAV-TV network station in California. Lucas herself is a championship drag racer and races in the National Hot Rod Association’s Super Comp Division. In addition, Lucas and her husband donate to several community organizations throughout the United States and have established charitable foundations and Protect the Harvest to support the agricultural community.
