What's she up to: St. James started her own driver development program in 1994 to help young female drivers, including Danica Patrick and Sarah Fisher. She also has her own foundation based in Indianapolis. Regarding Patrick's chances for winning Indy on her first try, St. James said: "The only sort of hinderance right now, and I'm remembering my first Indy 500, is that a couple times in my mind I thought: "Oh, that's how they do it.' I was learning, and that's not the style you need to have to win the Indy 500. I still think she has the chance, because she has so much other racing experience and has adapted well. I wouldn't count her out." St. James lives in Phoenix.
