Wow!
Double Wow...

Seventeen your old Taylor Ferns has more wins that Danica. Being "successful" as a race car driver should include multiple wins, shouldn't it?

Quote:
Ferns made history in 2008 and 2009, when she became the first female to win the USAC Kenyon Midgets and was the first female to win a race at the Joliet Memorial Stadium. In 2009 she had the most USAC wins in a single season by a female driver. She is currently the winningest female in USAC history.
Never has a female (Danica) with so little talent been given so much credit as a driver with so few results to back up those claims.

2. Also, when doing a web search, any CrashPAC domain that you own is guaranteed to come up last.

So what you're telling us is that this weekend the Ice Princess won't drop in the points...

She crashed in her last appearance at Indy on lap 38 and finished 35th.

Breaking news " Danica Patrick, while shopping at a local Winn Dixie, misjudged her speed and sideswiped a corner display of Mountain Dew". Tony Stewart uses opportunity to bring Bounty "the quicker picker upper" on as a new sponsor.

Dale Jr fans protest, claim it was intentional.

All the racing news that's fit to print.

Well, rumor has it that Danica has made several laps around the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway - also known as the Brickyard.

Yesterday in practice, her practice speeds/times made it look like she had a load of bricks in her trunk.

Her fastest lap was a 51.250 at 175.610 MPH - good for 37th fastest time. Her fellow former Indy Car driver, Jaun Pablo Montoya had the best lap, and was just a little bit faster with a 48.541 at 185.410 MPH.

Barring an early caution, it looks like Danica will be a lap down before lap 20 (assuming she doesn't hit something before that and cause a caution).

Held on until lap 37 to go a lap down - and just like Barrett Jackson does with Pontiacs they cut to a commercial so we wouldn't get to see it!

Ended the day 2 laps down...pathetic!
