Sara Senske

After signing with the team in 1997, Senske ran the final six Mazda races of the season -- and won the pole in her first-ever oval track race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Senske had her first full season in 1998, scoring four top-5 and six top-10 finishes during the 13 race season, and finishing 8th in the championship points battle.

In 1999, she ran a total of 20 races in both the Star Mazda (open-wheel) and Women's Global GT (sports cars) series. She finished 6th in the Mazda series, and 4th in the WGGT series, completing every lap of every race in both series. She won the Portland round of the WGGT from the pole, led every lap and set the fastest lap of the race on her way to a 27-sec. margin of victory over the second-place finisher. In the 20 races, she scored one win, one pole, three fastest race laps, three podiums as well as six top-5 and six top-10 finishes.

Senske competed in two seasons of the Barber Dodge Pro Series, becoming the first woman to finish on the podium at a CART sanctioned event when she started on the front row and crossed the finish line in second at the Target Grand Prix of Chicago in 2001. She is currently working on moving up the the next level, and has tested with a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Team.
