Your thinly veiled bigotry is still just bigotry, despite hiding it behind a strawman

Jokes on you, I can't list 10 male athletes either!

Very true. Here's my attempt

Male
Michael Vick
Wayne Gretzky
Roger Federer
Kobe Bryant
Shaquille O'Neal
David Beckham
OJ Simpson
Babe Ruth
Usain Bolt
Oscar Pistorius
Mike Tyson
Michael Phelps
Tony Hawk
Tom Brady
That car racing guy who hit his head on a rock while skiing and is in a coma
Max Verstappen

Female
Serena Williams
Venus Williams
Brittany Griner
That gymnastics girl making a displeased face in the meme (Mikayla Maroney?)

So for me, even though I'm not interested in sports, OP was correct.

I'm curious why I don't know any female race car drivers... the argument could be made that female athletes are not as physically strong so they aren't competitive in strength based sports, but it seems like anyone can drive a car fast? Who are the biggest female race car drivers?

Danica Patrick is one of the best-known women in motorsport.
