— Plano-based Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced that Siemens PLM Software-sponsored driver Danica Patrick of Andretti Green Racing (AGR) -- whose cars are developed with the help of Siemens PLM Software technology -- won her first IndyCar(R) Series race, the Indy Japan 300 at Twin Ring Motegi in Motegi, Japan.

Patrick became the first woman in history to win an IndyCar Series event. The victory came in her 50th career IndyCar Series start in which she drove the #7 Motorola car among the top-eight cars for the entire 200-lap event.

AGR, the 2007 IndyCar Series Champion, has won three of the last four IndyCar Series championships with three different drivers. The victory was AGR's first this season and it extended AGR's IndyCar Series record to 33 victories.

"Siemens PLM Software congratulates Andretti Green Racing and Danica Patrick on her historic first IndyCar Series win," said Dave Shirk, executive vice president of Global Marketing for Siemens PLM Software. "Siemens PLM Software is proud of our relationship with the racing teams and is pleased to know that our seamless, open solutions help the teams to put the best cars out on the race track to finish in the winners circle."

He is also an adjunct faculty member at UNT where he teaches jazz arranging. Sato is also heading into the studio soon with other area musicians and playing at the Scat Jazz Lounge tonight. With all that he's up to, the least you could do is order a Scotch on the rocks and chill to some tunes. (Photo by flickr user arteunporro. More info
