We welcome last October 14, 2013 at Milky Way Makati City the Pinay Racer Michele Bumgarner for being on Top10 last Mazda Indy. The 24 year old Started 11th and Finish 9th in Houston Circuit. Just Behind behind World Speed Motorsports teammate Kyle Kaiser.
She got the Staubli Award as well as the Quarter Master Hard Charger
Award for making up 4 positions. She Completed 1st 5 races in 2008 season when it was still known as Star Mazda Championship.
If your new to IndyCar its like an F1
open-wheel car with max speed of 230mph race made in huge tracks like Las
Vegas or Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Compare to F1 which is more
expensive who catches worldwide attention.
But rarely reach 210mph because of turns raced in Historical
like Monaco or newest track in Singapore Streets. While NASCAR can rarely
approach 210mph a purely American sport like Sprint Cup in Talladega or
Daytona. So I asked her more Why Watch Indy?
How you encourage Pinoy to
watch Indy?
Michelle: Of course I hope that when I do eventually make it to IndyCar that that
should encourage them enough to watch me represent our country! Haha.
Whats make Indy unique to Nascar, Moto and F1?
Michele: I think what makes IndyCar unique are:
a. The tracks they run on, because they're the only types of Open
Wheel to race on both Road course/street course and ovals
b. They are more fan friendly.
F1 and Nascar can be very tight and
strict with everything, where in IndyCar, they make sure to make time
for their fans, like holding autograph sessions in the IndyCar Fan
Village every race weekend, so the fans can actually get up close and
personal and meet their favorite drivers. In F1 and Nascar, you only
dream of a chance meeting with the drivers.
Lastly the Fanboy asked. What keeping you fast, pretty and busy?
Michele: Since arriving in Manila friday evening, I have been non
stop with firstly getting Lasik surgery the morning after arriving and
now with meetings and interviews since I'm here for such a short period
of time.
I'm trying to squeeze in some family time and to see my friends
when I can! I'm hoping I have nothing going on tomorrow so I can
finally play tennis!
Now Im thinking of being a Sports Champion is totally face off. I was wrong when I'm seeing beauties with great talent like Annika Sorenstam, Maria Sharapova or Michele Bumgarner winning its own discipline.
Bumgarner does also several exercise training program series in Pit Fit, Seat Fit, Sonoma, CA Testing, Press Tour. Being backed by Mazda Philippines as part of Indy Program shes ready for 2014 Pro Mazda Championship that will kick off this March 2014.

Together with Berjaya's Sherlyn Co. As well as our Host Japeth Castillo's talking about Mazda fun starts with lowest down-payment of 49k last in Ortigas Appreciation Night.
Mazda & Berjaya Philippines President Steven Tan Said “You have to look at the context of Michele’s historical
accomplishment to fully appreciate where she is now, and where Michele is
heading" So Mr. Tan is Optimistic that Michele is capable in this competitive sport. For Team Philippines, Good-luck for Mazda Pro 2014.
