Danica Patrick (IndyCar, NASCAR)
She is the first female driver to win an IndyCar race (2008 Indy Japan 300) and has the highest finish by a female driver at the Indy 500 (third in 2009). In her NASCAR Cup Series career she seven Top-10 finishes and she is the only female driver to start on the pole for any race.
