Well ESPN The Magazine believes that can happen.
In their annual countdown of emerging stars, at number 14 was Cooper Tires Presents The Atlantic Championship Powered by Mazda driver Simona De Silvestro.
Simona is a twenty one year old female, and hails from Thun, Switzerland.
In 35 races De Silvestro has five wins, ten podium finishes, and four poles. Danica Patrick, in the same series from 2003 to 2004, made 24 races with no wins, five podium finishes, and one pole.
Had De Silvestro not had a snafu on the opening lap in the finial race this season, she would have been the first female in history to win a open wheel championship.
So if Simona De Silvestro is doing better then Danica did, then how long will it be until Simona makes it to the IRL and doing better then Danica there and stealing her thunder as the best female open wheel driver.
