The return of Ana Beatriz


Last night was a amazing night, after missed Milwaukee Race, Bia has return to Indy Light,  and what way to get back! She won her second race in Indy. Bia started at 6th and 7 laps to go she became the leader.

"I was thinking and wanting to finish the race today. We qualified sixth, but it was great at the start of the race and it was very competitive. I was fortunate to find the right time to pass Wade (Cunningham). There was a lot of lapped cars out there when that happened. It was all about momentum. Wow, I can't believe I got first and Sam Schmidt got a 1-2-3. It is unbelievable. At the finish, I was thinking it was just unbelievable. I nearly crashed there at the end right there around the flipped car. This team deserves it. I really want to celebrate with them tonight. The last couple of weeks have been tough missing out on sponsorship and then finding a way to come back." 

Sam Schmidt made something unseen, beyond 1-2-3, Yacaman was 5th then on all time was on Top 5.
