Simona de Silvestro, right, will be teaming up with Beth Paretta to
put another woman on the Indianapolis 500 starting grid this May.
Motorsports
Continued from A5
The 32-year-old Swiss
driver has competed in the
500 five times, finishing a ca-
reer-high 14th in 2010 when
she was named the Tony
Renna Firestone Rising Star
Award recipient. De Silvestro
also has competed in Aus-
tralian Supercars, Formula
E and IMSA SportsCars and
served as a development
driver in Formula One. Since
2019, she’s been a factory
driver for Porsche.
De Silvestro hopes to make
her first Indy start since fin-
ishing 19th in 2015 with
Michael Andretti’s team.
“My career really took off
through my time competing
in IndyCar and the Indy 500,
so returning to compete with
Beth and her new team in al-
liance with Team Penske is a
special and rare chance in my
career,” she said. “Being part
of the goal of diversity and
inclusion for everyone, and
especially women in IndyCar,
and in motorsports in gen-
eral, is very important to me
and how I would like to see
the future of racing.”
The plan also calls for
women to be included in ad-
ditional team operations such
as competition, administra-
tion, logistics, marketing and
public relations.
For Paretta, it’s another
chapter in a pioneering ca-
reer.
She served as an executive
with Street and Racing Tech-
nology and was hired at Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles as the
first female director to lead
a performance brand and
motorsports for an original
equipment manufacturer.
In that role, Paretta played a
part in three three champion-
ship-winning seasons from
2012-14, including Penske’s
2012 Cup title.
Paretta also serves on the
the board of Motorsports
Hall of Fame of America, but
she has a bigger dream.
“Our team, along with our
technical alliance with Team
Penske, will work hard to give
Simona the best car we can
provide so she can achieve
her best results,” Paretta said.
“Competition drives us. The
Indy 500 is the greatest race
in the world, and one day
soon we hope to have a wom-
an’s face on the Borg-Warner
Trophy.”

SPORTS BRIEFING
BASKETBALL
NCAA announces tighter March Madness schedule — That
much-anticipated opening Thursday of March Madness will be-
long to the play-in teams, part of a scrambled and modestly con-
densed schedule for the 2021 tournament released Tuesday. The
pandemic forced the NCAA to move the entire 67-game tour-
nament to Indiana, which means the schedule doesn’t have to
be built with travel concerns in mind. The so-called “First Four”
— two games pitting the last four at-large teams in the field and
another two featuring the lowest-rated conference champions —
will take place on Thursday, March 18. That day typically would
have marked the start of play in the main bracket. Instead, the
first two full days of action are now scheduled for Friday-Sat-
urday, March 19-20, with the round of 32 taking place Sun-
day-Monday, March 21-22. The Sweet 16 will run Saturday-Sun-
day, March 27-28, with none of the games scheduled to overlap,
as they often do when they take place on the second Thursday
and Friday nights of the tournament. Those winners will face

Don Sutton, Hall of Fame pitcher for Dodgers, dies at 75
— Don Sutton, a Hall of Fame pitcher who was a stalwart of the
Los Angeles Dodgers’ rotation spanning an era from Sandy Kou-
fax to Fernando Valenzuela, died Tuesday. He was 75. The Base-
ball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, said Sutton died
at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, after a long struggle
with cancer. The Atlanta Braves, for whom Sutton was a long-
time broadcaster, said he died in his sleep. A four-time All-Star,
Sutton had a career record of 324-256 and an ERA of 3.26 while
pitching for the Dodgers, Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers,
Oakland Athletics, California Angels and the Dodgers again in
1988, his final season. The durable Sutton never missed a turn in
the rotation in 756 big league starts. Only Cy Young and Nolan
Ryan made more starts than Sutton, who never landed on the in-
jured list in his 23-year career.
Mets fire GM after he sent explicit texts to female re-
porter — Jared Porter went from rising star to unemployed —
literally overnight. Just more than a month after joining the New
York Mets as general manager, Porter was fired Tuesday for send-
ing sexually explicit, uninvited text messages and images to a fe-
male reporter in 2016 when he was working for the Chicago Cubs
in their front office. ESPN reported late Monday that Porter sent
dozens of unanswered texts to the woman, including a picture of
“an erect, naked penis.” ESPN said it obtained a copy of the text
history, and many of the messages and photos he sent were dis-
played in the report online. About nine hours later, new Mets
owner Steve Cohen posted on Twitter that Porter had been fired.
About 30 minutes after that, the Mets released a statement from
team president Sandy Alderson saying the move was effective im-
mediately.

Woods has 5th back surgery, to miss Torrey Pines and
Riviera — Tiger Woods has suffered a setback with his back,
disclosing Tuesday that he recently had a fifth surgery that will
keep him from starting the year until after the West Coast swing
on the PGA Tour. Woods will not play next week in the Farmers
Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which he has won seven times,
most recently in 2013. He also won the U.S. Open in 2008 at Tor-
rey Pines, which hosts the U.S. Open again in June. He also will
miss the Genesis Invitational on Feb. 18-21 at Riviera, where he
serves as tournament host. In a statement from his TGR Foun-
dation, which Woods also tweeted, he did not say when he had
the microdiscetomy surgery. It was to remove a pressurized disc
fragment that was giving him nerve pain during the PNC Cham-
pionship last month that he played with 11-year-old son Charlie.
