Another NASCAR First: Identical Twin Sisters Complete First Race

For the first time in NASCAR history, a set of twins competed together in a national division in the Camping World Truck Series race Saturday at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.

For 27-year-old identical twins Amber and Angela Cope, the prime-time debut was a decade in the making.

Amber Cope, driving the No. 6 Dodge, finished 26th, three laps down, while Angela Cope was involved in two incidents within 18 laps of each other early in the race and finished 30th, six laps down. Series veteran Ron Hornaday won the race.

I think it's only a matter of time before most motorsport racing does a complete 180 and has female drivers as the majority. From a publicity stand point, why not make the drivers "features" another attraction to the sport?
