Glamour girl Danica Patrick won the first title of her career at the Indy Japan 300 race becoming the first woman to win a championship in the Indy Racing League.
Patrick, dubbed "the Anna Kournikova of racing" for having beautiful looks but no professional titles, defeated Brazilian Helio Castroneves by six seconds.
The 26-year old was thrilled about earning her first title at Motegi's Twin Ring Circuit saying,
It's been a long time coming -- finally. This is fabulous. My team called it perfectly for me. I knew I was on the same strategy as Helio and when I passed him for the lead I couldn't believe it. My sex has got nothing to do with it. I believed in myself as a driver.
One question: How'd they get Michael Jackson to help out with the trophy?

Yeah she does not possess good looks but talented too in car racing, no wonder she's been tagged as Rookie of the Year for 2005 Indianapolis 500 and the 2005 IndyCar Series season.
