Danica Patrick Indy 500
All I can say is Wow The first women to have a lead in the Indy 500
even though she came in 4th.
.
Dan Wheldon won the race

She'* hot, but her "acting" on Spike TVs powerblock leaves something to be desired...however I would not worry if I were her, as it appears she has a promising career in racing.

Yeah, nice driving indeed. I give major props to her. So young, a rookie, and so far ahead of the rest of the pack consisting of alot of senior drivers with many more years experience.
I watched the last 50 laps. Too bad she was so low on fuel -if she'd known there were going to be two yellow'* in the last 5 laps she could have kept the fuel setting at full load and she'd have held the lead.
Nice work indeed. Shall be interesting watching her career grow. The next Jeff Gordon -a Girl!!!

race was pretty good i had seats directly behind the box seats with the big walkway infront of me so that you can have all the leg room you could imagine and you dont have to walk over people to get out. danica did really well and she made a pretty good comeback from falling to 16 and making it back up to lead for a bit. too bad the race ended on a yellow flag...only bad part. it was a beautiful day for racing and i had an awesome time going.

In spite of the 4th place finish, I've never seen any other rookie run a race like that. To fall to the back, twice, and then come back to the lead both times, even after a wreck...
Once she gets that rookie shine off, nobody'* gonna be able to touch her. I think we're looking at the new best driver in the world.
