Brazilian driver Ana Beatriz’s third-place finish in Saturday’s Indy Lights support race was the best finish by a woman in the seven-year history of the series. Beatriz made only her second start.

“If I start to think that this is my second race of the season and I’m already on the podium, that surprises me,” Beatriz said.

“It was a great race,” said Sam Schmidt Motorsports driver Beatriz. “I didn’t imagine that I would pass Richard (Antinucci). I just thought that Richard and Rafa (Matos) would just pull away and I wouldn’t be able to catch them.
