Landmark Moments for Women's Sports

In her 50th career IndyCar start, Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history, winning the Indy Japan 300 at Twin Ring Motegi in Motegi, northeast of Tokyo. "Finally," a teary-eyed Patrick told reporters after the race. "It's a long time coming." The 26-year-old is the first female driver to lead the Indianapolis 500 and holds the highest finish at the Brickyard, a fourth-place finish in 2005.
