I noticed that Patrick never acknowledged Janet Guthrie or Sarah Fisher........I don't remember the third gal's name.....They were the spear carriers who "paved the way" for Patrick's ability to lead 17 laps of the "world's greatest race".

Open wheel racing cannot be compared to stock car racing-
By the time you 'trade paint' you are into the wall or wadded up you car with someone else.

All things aside. there is a troubling trend among young athletes
in the last few years.

It is the lack of respect to the history, the 'old guard' and the media that cover their jobs.


During an ABC interview, Patrick made a statement about being a 'sex symbol'.

If she had waited until after the race I would not have bothered to be bothered.

She did do well in the race, congrats to her, her attittude probably did get her to where she made it on Sunday....

Two things...

The announcers on the "Danica Patrick Show" -Not to be confused with ESPN sportscaster Dan Patrick, were shrill and obnoxious-Where is JACKIE STEWART AND CHRIS ECONOMAKI
when you need them??

And when do we see the DP shampoo, underarm shaver and eye liner commercials?
