Any inputs? Sounds interesting. For those who do not knwo who she is, you may've seen her as the host of that "Powerblock" segment of cars on Spike TV.

Never know - don't doubt her. She did have a lap in qualifying that was faster than the pole sitter (Kanaan).

Maybe not, but on the Indy 500 qualifiers, she placed 4th, which isn't bad. Whether she does win the Indy 500 or not, I think we'll see her a lot on the news later on, and possibly, more female drivers competing w/ the males.

Why not? If a hot girl wants to smoke me around the racetrack, I'll give no objection. I'll be rooting for her this Sunday. It's about time there came some positive news from the IRL camp.

LOL!! Sarah wasn't that bad. Where do you put Lyn St. James on that list? Before or after Guthrie.

I've met her and she was good conversation and seems like a very nice person. She is no joke, watching her last season in the Formula Atlantic Series she did a great job and was consistantly fast. I will be rooting for her this weekend! I wish they would have picked her up in the CART series it could use the publicity.

No doubt she is a good driver. But, winning Indy--- I doubt it. Too much pressure on her to win and INDY is too big of a race. Another IRL race, maybe but not INDY.

I was watching a race about a month ago and the commentators were VERY sarcastic towards her. She passed someone and they said "Wow she learned to pass" Then she got passed and they said something to the effect, of now she is learning to get passed.

Like she never raced before.... ignorant commentators.
