Hatlelid produced NASCAR for 15 years for ESPN and NBC, and this is her first year as the full-time producer for NBC’s coverage of IndyCar. On the fi- nal day of qualifying, Hatlelid navigated 58 straight minutes of action on NBC without a com- mercial break. “That was two days of plan- ning of us chatting it out, should we go here, should we go there,” she said. “The lead-up is just kind of thinking of everything you need to get in and how to incorporate it properly and make it work for the fan. That’s what matters.” That includes telling the story through vignettes of select long- time Indy 500 fans who return Sunday after a year away be- cause of the pandemic. Hatlelid will also help NBC keep an eye on the female-led team attempting history. De Silvestro, making her first Indy 500 appearance since 2015, is one of nine female driv- ers who have started the race. Sarah Fisher started nine times and Patrick eight — she fin- ished third in 2009 — and the 2010, 2011 and 2013 races all Darron Cummings/AP Simona de Silvestro, of Switzerland, waves to fans during qualifications for the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday in Indianapolis. had four women in the field. Fisher transitioned to team ownership, then merged her team with Ed Carpenter Racing before getting out of IndyCar al- together. Patrick made a much publicized move to NASCAR after becoming a crossover star in I ndyCar. She retired after the 2018 Indy 500. Maude Yagle is the only fe- male team-owner to win the Indy 500, in 1929 with driver Ray Keech. “Hopefully it’s resonated with people to be more than another team, another entry, trying our best,” Paretta said. “We’re trying Saturday’s Games CF Montréal at Chicago, 10 a.m. Orlando City at new york, 10 a.m. new england at Cincinnati, noon Toronto FC at Columbus, noon nashville at atlanta, 12:30 p.m. ny City FC at la FC, 2 p.m. San Jose at la Galaxy, 4 p.m. d.C. united at Miami, 5 p.m. houston at Sporting KC, 5:30 p.m. FC dallas at Colorado, 6 p.m. Minnesota at real Sl, 6:30 p.m. Sunday’s Games Portland at Phila., 4 p.m. austin FC at Seattle, 6:30 p.m. to do a lot more and trying to provide opportunity and hope- fully some inspiration, both for kids and for women every- where to push and work hard to also know that anybody might be possible for yourself.” Paretta is the former motor- sports director for SRT Mo- torsports/Fiat Chrysler Auto- mobiles.

Until another woman wins an IndyCar race, like Patrick did in Japan, or the first woman takes the checkered flag at In- dianapolis, women landing the sponsorship needed to fund se- rious rides remains a problem. There are no female drivers in the IndyCar developmental sys- tem. Once they get it, the women know they have to make the most of their chance. It might be their only one. “Racing is all about being in the right place at the right mo- ment, and right now we just have literally all the tools in our hands to really show what we can do,” de Silvestro said. “I think that’s really uplifting.” SPORTS BRIEFING SOCCER were determined by voting by NCAA Division I coaches. Oregon State’s Alexander, Florida State’s Howell are top COLLEGE SPORTS college players — Oregon State junior forward Gloire Amanda and Florida State junior midfielder Jaelin Howell are the Her- Bill introduced in Congress would allow college athletes mann Trophy winners as the top college soccer players. Amanda, to become employees — College athletes would have the from Edmonton, Alberta, had 15 goals and seven assists in 14 games. Howell, from Lone Tree, Colorado, had five goals and two assists as Florida State reached the NCAA Division I final, where it lost to Santa Clara 4-1 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw. Announced Thursday by the Missouri Athletic Club, the awards right to organize and collectively bargain with schools and con- ferences under a bill introduced Thursday by Democrats in the House and Senate. Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) announced the College Athletes Right to Organize Act. “Big-time college sports haven’t been ‘amateur’ for a long time, and the NCAA has long denied its players economic and bargaining rights while treating them like commodities,” Mur- phy said in a statement. This NCAA said the bill would “directly undercut the purpose of college: earning a degree.” It added that “turning student-athletes into union employees is not the an- swer.” A companion bill was introduced in the House by Reps. Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.), Andy Levin (Mich.) and Lori Trahan (Mass.). The bill would amend the National Labor Relations Act to define college athletes who receive direct grant-in-aid from their schools as employees. — Bulletin wire reports
