[JAPAN][SPORTS] Danica Patrick wins Indy Japan 300, first woman to win an Indy race

The Associated Press reported, “Danica Patrick never doubted a woman could win a race. It finally happened Sunday.”

“Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history on Sunday, winning the Indy Japan 300 in her 50th career start.”

“I’m glad it finally happened,” said Patrick. “But I would be lying if I told you I didn’t think it would be me.”

“Win No. 1 was a long time coming for 26-year-old Patrick, who finished a career-best seventh in the season standings last year when her best finish was second in the race at Detroit’s Belle Isle.”
