Foyt hires first female driver

Tatiana Calderon will drive for AJ Foyt Racing this season as the first woman to compete regularly in the Indycar Series since 2013.

The Colombian will drive a third Indy car for Foyt on the street and road courses alongside Dalton Kellett and Indy Lights champion Kyle Kirkwood.

A driver for the oval races in the No. 11 was not announced Monday.

Calderon becomes the first woman to compete for Foyt, the iconic fourtime Indianapol­is 500 winner who turned 87 on Sunday.

Foyt was one of the very few who showed grace to Janet Guthrie when she began her quest to become the first woman to run the Indy 500 almost 50 years ago.
