2. Congrats to her

Now for two more races I'd like to see her win: The Indy 500 and the Iowa Corn 250. The latter is at our (still) relatively new track in Newton, IA.

3. Fantastic!!! It's about time.

Another barrier crashed through for women. Now I hope more teams will take on women drivers and give them a chance at winning more races.

Congratulations, Danica. Now stop doing those swimsuit ads.

5. She's a great driver....

6. The Japan 300?

Give me a break. I have a hard time considering driving a car a sport anyway.
