( on screen interview with virginia mcmanus, dakota's sister )
"...dakota is the brains of the bunch. from the day she knew what a car was, she wanted to learn everything. when she was ten years old, our granddad brought her out to his garage and started teaching her how to change a tyre, how to check oil levels. she says this a lot in her interviews, but i'll say it again *laughs* she started driving old race cars when she was about twelve years old, starting with on old stock car from the cup series, and when she was fourteen she was already moving up to single seater cars. we all thought she was going to be a driver one day, if she could get someone to notice just how good at it she actually was. but that's not what she wanted. granddad would take her to all these formula one races, and she always wanted to do what he did. she wanted to be in the pits, where the action was. the path to get there wasn't easy, and it's starting to take it's tll on her, i think. . . if you ask me, she needs to get away from red bull racing before she suffocates."
