The 56-year-old had to be directed by husband Alan and son Arthur as she fought for 30 minutes to land the prized 214lb catch.

Simona De Silvestro is amazing, not only did she survive a crash at 220 mph during qualifying for the Indy 500 with only burns on her hands. But then she gets into their older heavier backup car, hands oozing and bandaged, and proceeds to qualify for the race in 24th. She didn’t finish the race because of technical problems, but she rules either way.
The toughest driver at indy is a woman, and she’s not Danica Patrick

This girl is amazing. My grandpa sent me this and it’s just…wow. This girl really belted out the Star Spangled Banner and she just makes it look so easy! She has a very good voice and sounds great for being so young…
more...My dad emailed this to me this morning. I was amazed at how much air this girl got snagging this catch, and it got me thinking about girls, and girl power, and how there should be a place to keep girl stuff together. That gave me the idea to start this blog, with this video as the first post. My girls loved the idea, so anytime we find stuff that shows how awesome girls are, we’re going to post it here.
If you know who this girl is, let us know.. she deserves a medal!
