And tell me honestly what she has done. By my records:
-3 pole positions, all achieved when driver weight was not included in the all up weight, a good 20 or more kilogram advantage over everyone else.
-One 2nd position achieved when everyone else crashed out.
-one of her 2 thirds achieved when Milka Duno crashed out half the field or thereabouts
-A 4th place in the Indy 500 when she should have received two drive-through penalties and received none.
-Top 5 results in only 9 races.
That is by no means stats deserving of the praise she gets.

We Indy Car fans, at this point, will take anything that will promote the sport. If this is a good thing, so be it. That being the case, I wish she would've done it back here in the states when somebody was watching, though.
