We spoke to her about her rise to prominence with Sauber, attending the 'boys' club' that is the team principals' meeting, and the unique qualities she believes women can bring to bear on Formula One…"

He has always found a way to end a run of bad luck in the past, each time emerging to shine even brighter than before. Surely it's only a matter of time before it happens again"

Brooklyn, MI (June 19, 2011) – Michigan International Speedway’s 2.0-mile track has always been a place where Roush Fenway Racing has achieved success at in the past.  Sunday afternoon, Matt Kenseth and his No. 17 Crown Royal team led the organization’s efforts finishing second in the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 as he came within 0.281 seconds of victory.  Denny Hamlin was able to beat Kenseth to the line, but Kenseth added further accolades to his stellar statistics with his second-place finish.
