The Lady Is A Champ

Talk about women drivers.

History was made when Danica Patrick became the first woman to win an IRL (Indy Racing League) event. She won the Japan 300 by beating her closest rival Helio Castroneve by more than 5 second in her 50th race start.

Not only is this a great race for Ms. Patrick, it is a victory for women in sports. It shows that women can now hold their own when competing with men. It also shows that women's sports should not take a back seat when it comes to coverage and funding.

Move over boys. Let us ladies show how it's done.
