Iranian Racer a Champion for Women, Too

May 12 2008

Laleh Seddigh

While doing a little research into female racecar drivers, I came across a few articles about a woman named Laleh Seddigh. Read any of those articles, and your idea of the "hostile" environs that female racecar drivers face in the U.S. will be turned on its head.


IndyCar Series is Shockingly Family-Friendly

May 05 2008

Cade

I recently took my youngest daughter to an IndyCar race in St. Petersburg, Fla. Looking at this world from the outside, it appears to be riddled with machismo and testosterone, so I was surprised to find such warmth and family-friendliness there.


Danica Patrick Takes Checkered Flag

Apr 21 2008

Danica Patrick

Do you know what it's like when you've been dating someone a while and everyone asks, "When are you gonna get married?" Do you remember how sick you got of it? Now imagine you get asked that like 20 times a day for three years. You may have an inkling of what it's been like to be Danica Patrick.


Sarah Fisher Gets Grilled

Apr 11 2008

Sarah Fisher

What is it about the kids of Mother Proof that makes it so darn easy for them to score the interviews that the rest of us have a tough time landing? Before attending a recent IndyCar race in St. Petersburg, 5-year-old guest columnist Cade Varela chatted with IndyCar driver Sarah Fisher about all things safety.


Have Your Own First Moment in Motorsports

Apr 02 2008

Janet Guthrie

In honor of Women's History Month last month (OK, you caught me, I totally blew my deadline on this), I wanted to offer a little history of women in motorsports. Believe me, there's plenty of material there.


Car Racing for Dummies

Dec 06 2007

NASCAR

As the newest addition to the Mother Proof team, I am also the dumbest; I'm not nearly as well-versed as my colleagues when it comes to the world of automobiles. These ladies even know a thing or two about racing, whereas all I know is that Ashley Judd is married to a guy who races cars for a living.


Ashley’s a Driving Force in Drag Racing

Nov 19 2007

Ashley Force

After watching several rounds of nitro-induced racing blurs, I sat down with Ashley Force for a little Q&A in her bipolar trailer (decked out with high-tech racing equipment on one end and purple leather sofas and scented candles on the other). Did I mention she loves to shop at Target? Love her!


Fast and Furious Crowd Not Just for Boys

Nov 19 2007

Verena Mei

When I got the chance to interview the only U.S. female drift driver, I decided to get to the bottom of a mystery: Who is this dichotomy of a 25-year-old-model-turned-driver named Verena Mei, and what the heck is this thing called drifting?


Danica Patrick Reveals Her Expensive Tastes

Sep 28 2007

Danica Patrick private jets

While getting my hair cut the other day, I stumbled across a snippet in a popular women's magazine titled "I Can't Get Through This Month Without My..." as told by Danica Patrick ("age 25, the first woman ever to lead a lap in the Indianapolis 500"). Now, please humor me as I cattily dissect this list.


Why So Many Men, NASCAR?

Sep 19 2007

NASCAR

There are several aspects of the whole NASCAR craze that I find mystifying, but this one tops them all: Where are the women? I'm not talking about the bikini-clad variety that are ubiquitous in motor sports, or even the female fans, who are as fervent as their male counterparts.
