IndyCar first: four women to start in season opener
The inaugural Sao Paulo Indy 300 will mark several firsts, mainly of interest only to avid Indy-race fans, but one in particular grabbed my attention: this will be the first time that four women have started an IndyCar race. Methinks IndyCar is entitled to a little self-praise: “This is really fantastic for our sport,” said Terry Angstadt, president of the series’ commercial division. “Diversity is actually one of the attributes of the Izod IndyCar Series. Racing is the only sport where female athletes compete in absolutely the same field as the men, they race on exactly the same tracks, the same cars.” Now we must work so that this parity is true for all sports, for only then will female athletes no longer be undervalued.
