Girl's coming back for racing driver (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senna

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'racing driver' is the definition.
'senna' can be an answer for 'driver' (racing driver Ayrton Senna, 1960-1994). I'm unsure of the 'racing' bit.

'girl's coming back' is the wordplay.
'girl's' becomes 'anne's' (girl's name).
'coming back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'annes' backwards is 'SENNA'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for senna that I've seen before include "Its leaves are used medicinally" , "given help to get in motion?" , "Formula One driver" , "It produces pods" , "Anne's upset by a laxative" .)
