“Go fast and turn left!”
I’m not a big NASCAR/IRL fan. Hell, anyone will tell you that all I ever do is make fun of those clowns. I’m not saying they aren’t racers or anything like that, I just don’t find oval racing all that exciting.
Anyways, this Sunday is the Indianapolis 500 and Danica Patrick will be on the starting line with 650 horses under the hood to help her make a statement. Yep, she’s a girl. In fact, she is the fourth woman to qualify for the Indianapolis 500. Ever.
If that’s not enough, she’s a rookie driver. Yep, a rookie. Earlier this week, she put up the fastest lap in a full practice session. She’s turning heads. Then came Pole Day. In the preceding practice session, she posted the fastest lap — at an average speed of 229.880 mph. No woman has gone faster at Indy. No man has beaten that time this year.
Looks like this girl’s gonna give the boys a run for their money. You go girl.
