When Jamie Chadwick continues her sophomore Indy NXT campaign this weekend at Laguna Seca she will enter the paddock for the first time in her Stateside career as a proven race winner. Victory at Road America, converting pole position, made her the first female winner in IndyCar's support series formerly known as Indy Lights since fellow Briton Pippa Mann at Kentucky in 2010. Never before had a female driver won on a road course.
Although this is just a tag and no driver improves abundantly overnight, getting the proverbial monkey off the back can be an incredibly freeing experience for a driver. In Chadwick’s case, this trend has been evident on her way to titles in British GT, the MRF Challenge Formula 2000 and, most notably, W Series.
