GARDNERVILLE, Nev. — Mary McGee, a female racing pioneer and the subject of the new documentary “Motorcycle Mary,” has died, her family said. She was 87.

“McGee’s unparalleled achievements in off-road racing and motorcycle racing have inspired generations of athletes that followed in her footsteps,” her family said in a statement.

The family said McGee died of complications from a stroke at her home in Gardnerville, Nevada, on Wednesday.

The short documentary “Motorcycle Mary” was released on ESPN’s YouTube channel Thursday. Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton was an executive producer on the film. Its premiere was at the Tribeca Festival in June.
