CINCINNATI — IndyCar driver and Racing for Kids representative Milka Duno and Indy Lights driver Ana Beatriz will visit patients at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Thursday, July 30.

Duno is the first Latina to qualify and race in the Indianapolis 500 and will drive car number 23 in the Meijer 300.

In 2008, Beatriz became the first female driver to win a race in the Firestone Indy Lights Series when she won in Nashville in July. She will drive the number 20 car in the Kentucky 100.

When Duno and Beatriz visit the hospital, they will have a real IndyCar with them so patients and their families can take pictures in the car.
