Ana Beatriz, who competed in the first five IZOD IndyCar Series events for Dale Coyne Racing, will drive the team’s No. 18 car with support from her longtime sponsor Ipiranga in the Milwaukee IndyFest this weekend.
Beatriz recorded a season-best finish of 14th at Long Beach in the No. 18 Honda and finished 15th in her last start at Indianapolis. She will be making her second start at Milwaukee, where she qualified 11th and finished 17th in 2011.
It will be the 28th start overall for Beatriz, of Brazil, over four seasons. She has a best finish of 11th at Toronto in 2011 with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing.
