PIPPA MANN & MEGAN MEYER Lead Five-Driver Ladies Race of Champions Field

October 2, 2025

• The American Speed Festival’s Ladies Race of Champions brings together five accomplished female drivers in Radical race cars, featuring seven-time Indy 500 veteran PIPPA MANN alongside two-time NHRA World Champion MEGAN MEYER. This isn’t your typical “ladies auxiliary” event – these women earned their spots through serious credentials, not tokenism.
• The field showcases the breadth of women’s motorsports talent with USAC Midget champion TAYLOR FERNS, Porsche Sprint Challenge driver LONI UNSER, and GT4 America competitor LAURA HAYES. Each brings expertise from different racing disciplines, proving that female talent spans every corner of motorsports – if you know where to look.
• While the weekend features multiple racing classes and vintage displays, the Ladies Race of Champions stands out as a rare opportunity to see accomplished female drivers compete head-to-head in identical machinery. It’s the kind of showcase that reminds us what we’re missing when series fail to actively recruit and support women competitors.
