Why shouldn’t Danica Patrick be there? I haven’t watched in years and really don’t know.
I went to a private girl’s school in Indianapolis about 100 years ago, met Toni (Antoinette) Hulman, 500 owner’s daughter, who had recently graduated from our school. When her dad died, she inherited the track and the business, ran it very well for decades.
I’ve been to the track a few times, saw time trials, and met a few drivers, notably Jim Clark AND Colin Chapman who owned and designed Lotus Cars. Even owned a Lotus Elan. And ended up managing the Lotus distributorship in the Midwest. Really fun days...and for my little kids too, who got to go to time trials.
So if Danica isn’t a good-enough driver anymore, OK, but if it’s because she’s a woman, I seriously object.
Veto!

That’s cool, Thank You for Sharing and Posting it.
I remember when I was about 4 or 5 We visited the Track and rode the Tour Van around it. I thought the van was going to turn over. Decades later I stood on the Track at Bristol, now I realized it’s just because Indy was the 1st track I’d been on...
It is not because she is a woman.
She seems just seems out of place. Couldn’t they get some other person? A better driver who drove the Indy 500 or Indycar Someone more successful.
