***ist, misogynist, racist, xenophobic ... remarks from
the usual holier than thou sanctimonious poseurs crowd.

DUNO AND CITGO RACING TO JOIN DREYER & REINBOLD RACING
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Dreyer & Reinbold Racing announced today that it has
signed Venezuelan driver Milka Duno to drive the #23 CITGO-sponsored Honda
Dallara in select races for the 2008 IndyCar Series season.
Duno, who currently resides in Miami, Fla., made seven starts with SAMAX
Motors****t in the IndyCar Series in 2007.
"We're excited to bring Milka on board," team co-owner Dennis Reinbold
said.
"We want to provide her with every op****tunity we can to develop as a
driver. Her great attitude and hunger for success, combined with her
networking op****tunities, should make for an exciting race season on and
off
the track.
"We are also proud to welcome CITGO to our family of sponsors and look
forward to working with them this season."
"I'm very pleased to get an op****tunity with Dreyer and Reinbold to take
the
next step in my career," Duno said. "I felt comfortable with them right
away in the first few meetings. I think that working together with them
will make me move forward.
"I also want to thank my sponsor CITGO for their continuing sup****t."
In a limited season last year, Duno's best finish was 11th at the Texas
Motor Speedway.
"I learned a lot last year with the team I was with, especially from my
engineer, Steve Challis, and my spotter, Pancho Carter, but I still have
many lessons to learn. I hope I learn everything I need to improve and
become competitive. This is another step for me."
Duno's first on-track test with the team will take place in her backyard
on
February 27th at the Homestead-Miami Speedway followed by a test a week
later at the Sebring International Raceway.
The test at Sebring will mark Duno's first time in an IndyCar Series
machine
on a road course.
"We need to test a lot," Duno said, "but I'm excited about driving on a
road course in these cars. We should have a lot of fun running the car at
Sebring. I'm especially happy that almost all the time we spend on the
track in the beginning of the season is in Florida where I live."
Outside of the race car, Duno is an accomplished scholar as she is a
certified Naval Engineer and has earned four master's degrees - three of
which she earned simultaneously.
In the end of March, she will be releasing a new childrens' book, Go,
Milka,
Go! It features Duno as a cartoon character sharing the im****tance of
education to children of all ages - a cause for which she is very
passionate.
She will also make her big-screen debut on May 9th as a part of the Warner
Bros. movie Speed Racer where she will play the role of Kellie "Gearbox,"
fittingly, a race car driver.
