Four Former Champions and Four Women Among Forty Entries for Indy 500...

For this years Indy 500, forty entries have been filed for competition. Among the forty, four of them are former champions, and four of them are women drivers. Helio Castroneves is the defending champion and he is joined with former winners Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti and Dan Wheldon. Four women have the possibility of starting on race day for the first time in race history. The entries include Danica Patrick, Milka Duno, Sarah Fisher and Simona De Silvestro. Perhaps the big names and women drivers will bring a new target market to the race and it will become even more popular. People like to new things happening that are out of the ordinary, and the possiblility of four women drivers making it to race day shakes things up. Also, mixing in former champions always brings excitement and raises question to who is going to take the checkered flag.
