There's no good reason women can't be competitive with men on the race track. And while Danica Patrick arguably is the most famous female racer in the world, she by no means is the only one.
The green flag will fly on the 2012 IZOD IndyCar season on Sunday, March 25, at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and driver Katherine Legge (pronounced "leg") is so excited, she can hardly stand it.
Legge races this weekend in the IndyCar opener.

"Holy crap!" is what she said to me in a phone interview Thursday when I asked her what she'll be thinking as she's coming to the green.
Legge, 31, is one of six female race car drivers in six different series who will be climbing into cars in 2012. Truecar.com is behind the team, part of an initiative the sponsor calls "Women Empowered."
