I have a great job. I get to go in circles at 200mph in a high tech super powered jet on wheels inches away from other race cars also going 200mph and I race against some of the best race car drivers in the world. We fight each other for every inch of race track and our careers are determined by hundredths of a second. It is a high speed dance on wheels and I love every minute I am on the track. I have been lucky to drive for some great race teams and have been successful enough to earn a license to race some of the fastest race cars in the world. Earlier this year Sports Illustrated included me in their list of the top ten female race car drivers in the world. In August I became the fourth woman in history to race in the Indy Pro Series. I am one of the luckiest race car drivers in the world. I know I have a job that many people dream about. But I feel guilty about it. Because I am also a tree hugger. And a vegetarian. I am a tree hugging vegetarian female race car driver. I know, I know—I’m a bit of a freak.
