Since the introduction of female drivers to Indy and NASCAR, the famous command has changed to either, "Gentlemen, and Lady, start your engines", or more frequently (with more females on the grid), it's , "Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines."
But with all the Danicamania this past week, they had to tweak the line. Actor James Franco gave the command, but he blew it.
"Drivers......and Danica, start your engines!"
We burst out laughing. So Danica Patrick isn't a driver?
I think he meant to say "Gentlemen, and Danica, start your engines", but it came out wrong.

I posted that right away.
And, everyone is thinking about the end of the race. When I posted she wasn't racing it was evident throughout the race. There were several instances where she could have tried the lower line and then pitted a few laps later and come out about the same position. Whomever coached her, hasn't done a very good job up to this point. While it's true I don't race, I have/had several friends that do/did and they like playing in the dirt.
