        Pippa Mann Poised To Be Sole Female Driver At Indy 500

        When part-time Verizon IndyCar racer Pippa Mann qualifies later this month for the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, she likely will be the only female in the final starting grid of 33 drivers. It will be her fifth 500-miler at Indy, and her fourth in a row for Dale Coyne Racing.

        “I thought there were going to be two or three of us [women] this year,” says Mann, all of 32. “But I’m just thankful to have the opportunity to get back into a race car. It will be really cool again to run the Susan G. Komen car with logos and marks in the 100th running of the race. That’s a pretty big stage we’ve got them on there.”

          As you all know I'm a big Gas Monkey fan
          The GAS MONEKY Indy 500 driver Sage Karam might be the youngest driver out there, but he sure knows how to give 'em hell! Can't wait to watch him race the Gas Monkey Energy Chevrolet in the 100th running of the Indy 500 next weekend!

                          Alexander Rossi wins the Indianapolis 500 while running out of gas

                          The Indianapolis 500 has been known for some unpredictable finishes. The 100th one came up with an incredibly surprising winner as American Alexander Rossi coasted to the checkered flag for his first IndyCar win.
                          In fact, you could argue Rossi is the most surprising winner in the 500's history. But before we say why, here's how he got to victory lane.

                          Yes, Rossi's car literally coasted towards the yard of bricks on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway frontstretch. There wasn't anyone around Rossi when he came to the finish line, thankfully for him because he was running on fumes. The strategy play to stay out while most of the leaders pitted for fuel late paid off as Carlos Munoz, the first driver who pitted for fuel, finished second, a quarter-track behind Rossi.

                          When the green flag flew with 33 laps to go in the Indianapolis 500, there was a chance the 100th edition of the race was going to come down to fuel mileage. By sitting ninth at the final restart Rossi had the opportunity to try the fuel gamble.

                          It worked. After he took the checkered flag, Rossi radioed to his crew that he was out of gas. His last lap averaged 180 MPH. The pole speed for the race was approximately 230 MPH.

                          BIG THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO PLAYED AND TO AUSWOODY FOR DOING THE RANDOM DRAW AND BRANDYBEE FOR HELPING OUT WHILE I WAS AWAY FOR A LONG WEEKEND

                                Hey everyone, I want to say thanks for all the good sportsmanship!! At no time did I think it was possible a rookie could win, but I hung on each turn and watched it happen. I guess it's ironic that I am a rookie to entering events here (my first one) and had a rookie driver.
                                I do have to think Brandybee for asking me to join the race. I would not have joined, if she did not encourage me! Thank you. The other group of people I want everyone to recgnoize, is the team of people who work together to make events and this site possible!! If you see them or chat with them, spend a second and say, Thank You. It doesn't cost you anything, makes them feel appreciated and who knows – might make you smile as well ;D
                                Again, thanks to all the people who give their time to this team and thanks to all the people who gave me congratulations on the win. Remember your time to win is all in the chance you take.
