ladies, start your engines

I'm pleased as punch that one of my all-time favorite Indy Car drivers, Sarah Fisher, will be returning to the IRL for this weekend's race (The Meijer Indy 300 "Presented by Coca-Cola and Secret") at the Kentucky Speedway. Sarah won the Pole at that race in 2002 (the only time a woman has won a pole in Indy Car history.)

Sarah hasn't raced in an Indy car since the 2004 Indy 500 and I've missed her so. I hope this can pave the way for her to pick up some sponsorship for a full-time return to the IRL.

I want to go to the race, too! And I would if not for my back problems. I'm trying to be "smart" and not take any chances. If Vitor gets his first win and I'm not there to see it I'll cry.
