There were three times as many women driving at Kansas Speedway as Andrettis-or Foyts, for that matter.

Indy car racing has a new look, and Venezuelan Milka Duno's debut gave the casual fan even more to take interest in. After all, Sarah Fisher is no longer a novelty, and Danica Patrick is no longer the only cover girl covered in Nomex.

Former series champion Dan Wheldon led 177 of the race's 200 laps to establish himself as the favorite heading to the Indianapolis 500. He won the 2005 Indy 500 and has led nearly 70 percent of the laps this season. But he'll have to share the speedway spotlight with Duno.
