Milka Duno (born April 22, 1972) is a former Venezuelan race car driver who competed in the IndyCar Series and ARCA Racing Series. She is best known for holding the record of highest finish for a female driver in the 24 Hours of Daytona.[1] She entered the NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2014.
Her racing career is unusual because of her late start.[according to whom?] She was introduced to the sport when she was invited to a driving clinic by a car club in Venezuela[2] and did not start racing until she was 24.[3] Prior to racing, her background was primarily academic. Duno holds master's degrees in organizational development, naval architecture, maritime business, and marine biology,[3] and she has prior experience working as a naval engineer.[4]
