After starting her racing career 5 years ago on the local karting scene in South Florida, Mishael Abbott, 20 year old, college sophomore, quickly climbed the ladder in the kart racing world to become the first female to win a Superkarts! USA (SKUSA) - the world's premiere shifter kart series - feature race.

Mishael is a graduate of the Lyn St. James Driver Development program and was the 2000 Kara Hendrick Scholarship winner. Along the way, participation in the Skip Barber Formula Dodge and USAC Midget series have led her to her next challenge.

During the 2001 season, Mishael participated in three test days with the PRO-ONE Motorsports Formula Mazda team. In her second test day, she was turning lap times which would have put her on the podium at the most recent SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) event at the track (GingerMan Raceway, South Haven, Michigan). In early October, she scored a top five finish at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course during an SCCA Regional Championship event in a PRO-ONE Motorsports Formula Mazda.

For 2002, she will be a team driver with PRO-ONE Motorsports in the STAR MAZDA SERIES. The STAR MAZDA SERIES North American Championship, will tour famous tracks in Canada and the United States, and provide Mishael the platform for her first full season of professional racing. The STAR MAZDA SERIES serves as a support race to the IMSA American LeMans Series and CART Champ Car series events. And as was the case in 2001, all of the series events will be televised on the Speedvision network. Other select races in SCCA formula cars and sedans along with the Formula Mazda program will fill out a full year of racing.

In 2003, Mishael looks to compete in the new Indy Racing League support series, with all sights set on her ultimate goal of participating in and being the first female to WIN the Indianapolis 500.
