It is very impressive to hear that she is the only woman to ever win an IndyCar Series race. She did this when she emerged victorious in the Indy Japan 300 in 2008. The famous athlete has even become a pop culture sensation thanks to her looks and talent. She has done both TV and film work in the past. Not only that, but she also modeled for Sports Illustrated, ESPN: The Magazine, TV Guide, and FHM.
