Female-led team taking on Indy 500
Racing driver Simona de Silvestro is returning to the Indy 500 with the female-led Paretta Autosport, which aims to be the first team run and primarily staffed by women to compete in the race.
In the 104 Indy 500s held since 1911, 71 drivers have been to victory lane at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Ray Harroun won the first and Takuma Sato kissed the Yard of Bricks in 2020 at the end of the first race held in August, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Twice, in 1924 and 1941, two were credited with the victory having shared driving duties in the same car during the race.
A.J. Foyt, Johnny Rutherford and Rick Mears are the only drivers to have won the race four times, but three-time winner Helio Castroneves has a shot this year and will be starting from eighth place, while Simona de Silvestro could become the first woman to win the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing."
