There are currently 3 Ladies in the TF and FC classes this year ... Ashley Force (FC), Melaine Troxel (FC), and Hillary Will (TF). There is another Lady in TF but doesn't have a sponsor right now: Jessie Harris (she also drives a Jet-power dragster.
There has been zero Ladies running in the Pro Stock Class so far this year ... Erica Enders competed last year but only on a limited schedule due to sponsorship problems.
As for the Pro Motorcycle class: They have the most Ladies of any of the Pro classes at 4 ... Angelle Sampey, Peggy Llewellyn, Karen Stoffer, Connie Cohen. The motorcycles hasn't raced this year so that number may grew or decrease due to sponsorship problems.
In the future, there are a whole bunch of Ladies running in the sportsman classes. Leah Pruett tested a FC at Indy. Lindsey Woods dropped back into the Super Comp class after running A/F Dragsters. Brittney and Courtney Force are running A/F Dragsters this year. The Harker twins are also. Alexis De Joria is running TA Funny Cars.
There are many more Ladies in the sportsman classes and are too many to be named right now. But the 7 in the previous paragraph are just the ones that I can remember off the top of my head.
