Re: Go Danica!
I've been a racing fan for more than 40 years (Formula 1 and Indy cars) and I think what offends some about Ms. Patrick is that she is being used to pander. She is a good driver. She has never won a race. There are very much better drivers (male and female) who get no attention at all, and therefore, earn much less money than she. There are better female drivers who aren't as attractive and are ignored.
Thus far, Ms. Patrick is just a marketing event. The photo sitting on the rear bumper of the '57 Chevy confirms that. If she ever wins a race, she may become something else.
I apologize if I have offended some, but that's how I see it.
Congratulations to Roger Penske whose very clever fueling of his driver's car during a pit lane penalty (something that isn't allowed in Formula 1) enabled Sam Hornish to win the race.
