Danica Patrick - first woman open-wheel winner
A long time in coming - Danica Patrick won the Indy Japan 300 at Twin Ring Motegi racetrack in Tokyo to become the first woman to win in a major open-wheel racing circuit.
I've been a fan since her first Indy 500. I actually think this is going to be good for open-wheel racing: raising its profile above the "boys-only" argument that motorsports fall into. What do y'all think?
