Indy Firsts: Anita Millican & Caitlyn Brown

Tonight, we’re diving into another inspiring journey into the heart of motorsport history as we shine a spotlight on “Indy Firsts” and we have the honor of having not one, but two guests with us tonight.

Anita Millican, is a trailblazer whose indomitable spirit and mechanical prowess shattered barriers in the male-dominated world of racing. As the first female mechanic to grace the pits of the iconic Indianapolis 500, Anita's story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. 

Joining Anita is Caitlyn Brown, who made history as the first female over-the-wall pit crew member for Team Penske. And with unparalleled skill, determination, and a passion for racing fueling her every move, Caitlyn has shattered barriers and redefined what it means to be a pit crew member in one of the most prestigious teams in motorsport; and brings Anita’s efforts full circle not only being part of the team, but an Indy 500 winning team.
