Danica gets 4th at Indy! She had her rookie moments, stalling in the pit and spinning right before a restart, however, she overcame all that and finished in the top five, outrageous!!!!! She also led several laps. I had watched her in the Toyota-Atlantic series last year and knew she was the real deal then, today now everyone knows!

I hope her performance will inspire other women to go on track! I teach driving at Thunderhill Park and consistently women do not have a clue what their capabilities really are. It is so cool to be there when they start to get an idea about that! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Yeah, I saw parts of the race too, and the last 50 laps. Lots of drivers stall their cars here and there, and the spin did look like it was provoked by the people brake checking and trying to jump a restart which she will have to get used to. Overall a good job. She needs to get used to the camera....it seemed that she didn't know what to say when she was getting interviewed although all the questions sounded the same.
