If her car is any good, Lyn could make the field. I've watched her for years, & while she really can't be called a great ( or even good sometimes!) driver, she has enough to be at Indy.
To a man ( and woman ?) the drivers will tell you that Indy is not a difficult track to drive - it is actually very non-technical as far as driver skills are concerned. If the car is set up properly for, say, a 220 lap, almost any driver of decent skill can run it that fast. It is even easier now with the current IRL cars, as they have a ton of downforce, even trimmed to the max, and are underpowered by about 250 hp for the downforce available. All that adds up to a very stable, easy to go fast car (as long as the setup is right!)
I just hope her stamina is up to the job of 500 miles, if she does indeed qualify.
