INDIANAPOLIS, Ind — Indiana is known for two things in the sporting world: Hoops and the Indy 500. With Obama claiming a monopoly on basketball (except for her quaint stories about playing half-court 6-on-6 all girls ball in middle school), Hillary Clinton went the other route today — visiting the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to officially pick up the endorsement of female Indy Car driver Sarah Fisher.

She seemed genuinely impressed with the small race car — especially the high tech steering wheel and the fact that it runs entirely on ethanol, a fact that led her to exchange a high-five with Fisher.

Asked what brought her to the Brickyard, Clinton said she wanted to show her support for the trailblazing female driver. “We need to get on the track in America and get towards the finish line to change this country,” she said. “You want to go forward you put it in D. You want to go back you put it in R.”

Fisher helpfully pointed out that the car doesnt have reverse. Clinton replied “That’s right. It’s full speed ahead.”

Both women are hoping for a win in Indiana, but Sen Clinton hedged her bets on both races. “I never make predictions, I just try to do the best I can,” she said. “It would be like predicting who’s going to win the Indy 500 before it actually starts. we don’t know.”

Hillary did get a helping hand from Fisher, an Indiana native who said she’d voted that morning for Hilary and that she hoped both of them could make history. “That would be good, I would like that,” said Clinton, before rubbing the wing of the car for good luck.
