Super stoked for her. I am a big fan of her dad Mike and hope he recovers soon from whatever he has. Also awesome to see another woman competing at the top level of drag racing.

Oh man, great she's in a car, but sucks the situation. I had always interpreted the plan to be a two car team.

Top Fuel is going to be a slug-fest all year. You are going to see names outside of the top 10 that you wouldn't believe are outside of the top 10 this year, realistically it's that way with all of the four wheel classes.

Best of luck to her and Mike in his recovery.

Wow, this lady shows you don't need stones to compete at this level. Used to go to the digs around Chicagoland/Indiana frequently. Sox&Martin were the favorites. Shirley Muldowney was a treat.

Shirley Muldowney, Janet Guthrie, and Lyn St James are some awesome women.

Shirley Muldowney, Janet Guthrie, and Lyn St James are some awesome women.

I was at Indy when she became the first woman to take the starting flag at the brickyard. Think it might have been '77.
