During yesterday's Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix, most of the drivers experienced a first in their career, as Barber Motorspo൲rts Parks long-time resident ‘Georgina’ fell onto the track during the race.

Luckily ‘Georgina’ is not a human but instead a mannequin that hangs from under the bridge﷽ at the circuit where she enjoys watching the racing.

After the race Scott McLaughlin, the race winner, spoke to about the ‘Georgina’ incident andꦯ believes th🧜at she may not be back above the circuit next year.

“I was a little mad,” McLaughlin said. “I love the artisti🌠c stuff [at the venue], but it probably doesn't n𝓀eed to be above the track to cause a yellow like that. It's probably what will change next year maybe. I don't know.

“I do love that part of this. It's unique. It's just a fun track. Yeah, if I lost to that, to a lady that fell off... I won't ꦚsay anymore. It was a mannequin. It wasn't a real person.”

McLaughlin’s team-mate and the runner-up in the race, Will Power, joked ab🌌out the mannequin on the track and found the funny side of the incident.

“I saw the yellow come out and there's a lady lying on the side,” Power said. “I’m like, ‘You're kidding me, who let h🐓er down?’ There's a yellow for that lady.’

“Th🐬at would have been funny if it came in someone's cockpit, ‘There's a lady attacking mওe!’”
