Pippa Mann, 27, won pole today at the Kentucky Speedway. She’ll compete tomorrow in the Firestone Indy Lights “Drive Smart. Buckle-Up Kentucky 100.”

She is the 3rd woman to win pole at the Kentucky Speedway. Danica Patrick and Sarah Fisher also won pole here.

Paddocktalk.com quoted Mann as saying. “It’s kinda cool to follow in Sarah’s footsteps that way. Sarah is with a small budget team doing a great job of running her own team and still driving. That’s a neat little fact there. But to me as a racing driver it’s just neat to add another pole to the one I got at Indy and add to the podium finish last weekend. Hopefully, we’ll be adding another podium finish here, hopefully one from Victory Lane.”
