tephanie Beatriz had just wrapped a two-seater IndyCar ride around
Indianapolis Motor Speedway when she sat down inside the famed Pagoda for an interview with The Athletic.
“Incredible,” she said of her full-speed laps around the 2 1/2-mile track
“I never wanted it to end. The last (time) around, I was so sad it was over
It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And I think for many people it is, but I hope it’s not for me.
I hope I get to do it again.”
Beatriz, who played Rosa in “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and starred as Mirabel in Disney’s “Encanto,”
looked out at the empty grandstands and racetrack, which will be filled by 300,000 people and 33 cars during Sunday’s Indy 500
