2. What are your goals for the
remaining part of this year and next year?
This year my major challenge is to
run the entire season with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, be in the
top ten in the points standings at the end of the season, and
to hopefully win my first IRL IndyCar Series race.

3. What does is feel like
to be a young female in a more male-dominated sport of
racing?
During my entire racing
career, I have never emphasized the fact that I was
female. This attitude has been well respected by all
of the competitors that I have raced against all the
way to the IRL IndyCar Series. I am not in the sport
to illustrate or grow the "power of women." My entire
focus is on winning races and being the best at what I
do. Being young in the sport is wonderful! It gives me
a lot more time to gain experience and compete
successfully in the sport. When you are young, it is
much easier to stay on top of the training required
and quicker reflexes are also a help.

4. Are you considering
going to NASCAR?
Not right now – and I have
never driven any type of stock car before. All of my
experience comes from open wheel racing. For the near
future, I will be competing in open wheel racing. All
of my focus is here and now on the IRL IndyCar Series
and trying to be successful in that series.

|
5. Do you have a fan
club?
Not yet, but I’m
working very hard on establishing one this season!
Stay tuned to my website for more information.

6. How did you get
started in racing?
Both my mom and
dad were drivers, and I always say that
whatever interest your parents have, they try
to invest that same interest in their
children. In this situation, I enjoyed what my
parents enjoyed and took advantage of the help
and support they gave me.
|
|
7. How do you
prepare for a race?
There are many
aspects to preparing for a race. The
mental preparation includes going over the
race weekend strategy – what we want to
test during practice, important
qualification issues, and our objectives
in the race. The physical preparation
takes a little more effort. To be fit, I
work out focusing on weight lifting and
cardio.
|
|
8. Who is
your personal hero’s in racing?
There are
many talented race car drivers out
there to look up to. The main driver
that has helped me out the most and
takes the #1 spot on my mentoring list
is Al Unser Sr. He has done so much
with his racing career and has been
generous enough to guide me along the
way. Although he never had a big
influence on my career, Steve Kinser
was really someone that I looked up to
during my sprint car days and even
today. What a way to dominate!

9. Who
taught you to drive and how did
you learn?
Up
until I started in the IRL IndyCar
Series, I had raced exclusively
with my father. The knowledge and
belief that he had in me was what
helped teach me the trade of
racing. Without his support and
help, I never would have made it
this far. As far as how do you
learn to drive, there are many
ways. I started in quarter midgets
and then moved to go-karts, the
basis for all race cars. Go-karts
were the tool that taught all the
basics of racing – traffic,
feedback, car adjustment, and
working on the cars.
|
|
10. How
come you are not racing midgets
and sprints anymore?
The Indy
Racing Series deserves 110% of my
time and effort. If I spent all my
time working on my own
midgets/sprint cars and driving
them, then my focus would be
diverted. There is a lot to do
when you are trying to run a first
class team and gain all the
knowledge you can. I wish I could
because I really miss those types
of cars, but I can’t.

11.
How do you get involved as
a sponsor?
The first step is to contact
me via email with all the
specifics of the potential
sponsor including money to be
spent – what the company wants
to gain from being involved in
racing, etc.
