A woman steers with her pedal

A woman carefully steers with her pedal to the metal. She has covered the length of a football field while leaving a neat row of tracks behind her. Yet after the last yard, when she stands up, she's in the place where she began. Even though she didn't go in a circle or turn back, this is normal for her. What has just happened?

Don't suppose the woman is a mouse or a hamster...?

She's stuck in some mud. Or she wanted a free car wash so she drove into the rover (true story, I've seen it twice...)

She is in the drivers seat of a car. She drives the length of a football field, and is still in the drivers seat of a car.

And here I was thinking of those Japanese portable baseball fields. You must have heard of them? The ones whose grass you can roll around?
I think they were used during the foot-ball world cup there.

Although that's the right answer, there are some tractors or heavy machinery that are driven with pedals, a left pedal for the left track and a right one for the right. Using one might circle a distance and yet you'd end up back in the same place.

The woman could have been driving the little cart that paints the white lines on a football field.

She could also be in an arcade on one of the racing simulators, one with particularly excessive wheel spin graphics.
If the rows don't need to be straight, just precise, the simulator could be of a drift race.

She was teleported by an alien. She was taken before. The alien technology of teleportation is widely used on the surface of Earth and enables a dynamic movement for alien operations on Earth.
