Danica Patrick

AGE: 28
OCCUPATION: Racy driver
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0

PRO: At last year's Indy Japan 300, Patrick became the first woman to win an Indy race, a feat that finally silenced many of her Y-chromosomed detractors and sparked rumors of a Formula One bid.

CON: She's developing a rep for on-track temper tantrums and still hasn't won in her home country.
