Indy 500 Fans, now don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG Danica Patrick Fan, but check out #23 Milka Duno!!!
Milka Duno (#23) starting her 2nd Indy 500 in the 27th position was born in Caracas, Venezuela, is a qualified Naval Engineer with FOUR (4) Master's Degrees - in Organizational Development, Naval Architecture, Fishing and Aquaculture and Maritime Business – earning the last three degrees simultaneously, has written a children's book about her racing and is GORGEOUS!

Yes I'm a fan of Danica Patrick, but this woman is truly impressive too and should be getting just as much press as Danica, but isn't.

I only heard of her today, but after checking out her website, I'm definitely now a fan of Milka Duno too!

Here's some link to her website and the Indy 500's too, which is run today (Sunday, May 25th) at Noon 12:00pm/11:00am EDT/CDT.

1. I'd go for a ride with her in an Edsel
or a buckboard, whatever you got...Quite a lady. Good luck to her and all the drivers today...

2. Who cares what she looks like...can she drive?
Well I guess she's done okay in the Rolex series. :)

Go Ladies! Danika, Milka, one, two. Works for me.

3. She's done more than just the Rolex series...

...she she's been racing since 2000 and I've never even heard of her until just yesterday.
I think it might be because she's from Venezuela and is driving a car with CITCO on it (think MSM hate of Hugo Chávez).

6. Oh I agree
I was being a bit sarcastic...or trying to be. She's a good racer. More than just a pretty face.

It was awesome to hear Mari Human George say "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines." The way racing should be.

7. Oh crap, she just spun it and flattened the tires, not sure if she's out...
...but she definitely can't win anymore.

Oh, and now Danica just had a crash on Pit row. She's out.

8. Definitely Needs More Attention
Yes, she definitely needs more attention. She is both pretty and smart. It is extremely impresive that she had four master's degrees.

I am not trying to insult Danica Patrick, but one of the reason Milka Duno may not get as much attention as Danica Patrick is that she may not want to take racy pictures. I am not sure Danica Patrick would have gotten all the attention she is getting if she had not taken some very racy pictures before she got into the drivers seat.
