Andrea isn't disqualified because the official racing rules don't actually prohibit women from competing. When the dispute arises, Geneva argues this point forcefully. The deciding factor comes when Barbara Rollins, the corporate CEO and sponsor, publicly praises Andrea's victory and endorses her right to compete. Her support seals the decision and even leads to a full factory sponsorship for Carson Racing.

Foreshadowing: The rules discussion earlier establishes there's no gender restriction, making the resolution logical.
