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)

At my region's last autocross, a woman who competes in GS in a Mini wore a T-shirt that she bought at one of Danica's races. Front: "I drive faster than the boys." Back: "Deal with it!" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My father pitted for Janet Guthrie once. She was racing a Jag XK at the time, so I think that would have been around ten years before Indy. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
