first female winner in IndyCar history quote:
MOTEGI, Japan–Danica Patrick was always sure a woman could win a race. And now the questions about her will surely stop.Patrick made it to the place she wanted to be for so long – Victory Lane. She became the first female winner in IndyCar history Sunday, capturing the Indy Japan 300 in her 50th career start. "I'm glad it finally happened," the 26-year-old driver said. ``But I would be lying if I told you I didn't think it would be me.''

Good for Danica! There's been four or five women I can think of that have been in the Indy 500 - one of the premiere races in North America: Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, Sarah Fisher. Danica Patrick raced in the 500 twice. Another notable woman driver: Shirley Muldowney - the first woman to win a Top Fuel drag racing title and the first driver of either sex to win three world titles. (my mother drag raced the family sedan in the 1960s) ETA: car racing is NOT environmentally friendly - one of the reasons I stopped following motorsport long ago.
