INDIANAPOLIS – The Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation recently announced Thursday July 23, 2009 as the date for its 7th Annual Women in the Winner’s Circle Awards Ceremony, hosted by the Indianapolis Motor Speedy and held at The Plaza Village Pavilion in Indianapolis, Indiana.
New Breed Racing’s Alesi Gerthe has been invited to attend and join Lyn St. James in celebrating the diversity and successes for women in motorsports during the centennial anniversary of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at their VIP reception, followed by the awards ceremony.
“This is such an awesome opportunity that has been extended to me and I am looking forward to being there with Ms. St. James, along with other invited drivers such as Janet Guthrie, Sarah Fisher, Melanie Troxel, and many other talented racers,” commented Alesi. “Being a part of this event and organization has been a goal of mine for some time and I appreciate all of the help I received from those who wrote letters of recommendation to accompany my application earlier this year. I would also like to say a special ‘thank you’ to my Mom who helped me put together my application. I would not be where I am today without the support and guidance of so many.
