Danica Slips Franchitti Flips (Kentucky 2007)

[DEFCON115]

RedBull you dumb england prick you should just go motorboat your queen or some shit. The tire blew out spinning her around. Dumbass British people.

[slamjam101]

@redbull7946 so you like watching a "race" where there are three overtakes in the entire race, if that? f1 cars don't refuel, so where's the strategy there? go ahead, spend your money to watch cars go single file for 60 laps (which is defined as "a complete circuit" ...yes, f1 goes "around and around" too) with no passing, fine by me!

[Willbrse]

IndyCar Series, the best and the most challenging race series in the world!!

Oval + REAL road courses + REAL street courses!!!! I love it. Can't wait for this season, and for the new car next year.

Ryan Briscoe said today that the new cars (show cars) will be at the Indy500 this year! Can't wait to see that!!!

[redbull7946]

@newbowner456 hahaha we have F1 mate wouldnt waste my money watchin cars go in circles! lol of and as ur american my pound is worth far more than your dolla so could prob afford your house not just tickets ;-)

[mackc6r]

I saw a Le Mans LMP2 car smash right into the back of an Audi R8 @ Infineon raceway after passing the checkered flag. It's like "what the hell are you doing!?"

[factoryXperimental]

dip shit.

[dabearsfan811]

@Redbull7946 wow probably from england right lets go play some crickett or kick a ball around for a while sooo exiting go jerk off to some elton john and choke yourself bitch ass mofo.

[thenatester24]

wow franchitti sure had a wreck he even flipped 3 times that year.

[redbull7946]

bloody americans cant even go in a circle without crashin!!! utter utter idiots. whats a borin sport for people with v v little minds!

[fulluppa]

@redbull7946

franchitti is scottish

[JBurtonFan9931]

@redbull7946 Fuck you you utter utter dipshit.

[xupthree60]

also like the guy above you said Zanardi did the same thing but he lost his legs. I really wish people would stop looking at female drivers the way you do. If she's not winning every race then she doesn't belong there is how you people seem to look at. well guess what there's lots of great drivers in the IRL that have never won a race and she has. Stop trying to make her live up to some unattainable goal to get your respect.

[UltimateEEnEFan]

I saw one of Dario's flip at Michigan that same year. Dario's a great driver.

[Legoracefan2735]

dario sucks

[Autumn6]

@Legoracefan2735 You're an idiot...

[Legoracefan2735]

@Autumn6 whatever you say or think is your problem man I aint no idiot dario's just not one of my favorites

[stuckinthepatch]

Danica patrick is just a stuck up CUNT, can't drive worth a shit, and no talent whatsoever, spins coming out of the pits, stupid bitch should get pregnant and just stick to driving the family mini-van, although she would probably crash that too...

[Moderntalking6]

Dario Franchitti can't drive and he is blind.

Danica Patrick has problems with her right rear tyre that's why she spins by comming out of the pits. She's the best female driver.

[Legoracefan2735]

danica is not a stuck up cuntyour the stuck up cunt because you've probably never shoved your thing up one. why should danica screw up her life just because you cant keep yours tied?

[xStryderhiro]

Alex zanardi also spun coming out of the pits and he was amazing. It happens.

[AfroKidd95]

thats said that shes the top rated drivder in the US

i could probably beat her in a race

if she doesnt make me crash

[jmvneto51]

If no rules are to be changed I recommend the bumpers of these safety trucks to be lowered almost to ground. They can be designed to look cool and proper to be in a racetrack. No one wants to see anybody impaled under one of them. We almost so it happen....

[SuperShyGuy62]

hahaha what a dumb bitch!

[AfroKidd95]

if u all think this is bad think of what whould happen if she does f1

how stupid will she make america look

[NateDawg80126]

She is the top rated US driver in IndyCar right now, unfortunately shes the best we got.

[InvisibleTeeth]

Only because Hornish and Allmendinger went to NASCAR and Ryan Hunter-Reay is in shitty equipment.

If you put RHR is Danica's car he'd be a stud.

[NateDawg80126]

@InvisibleTeeth You make a good point, but I still think her talent is overshadowed by her good looks. If she was ugly I think people would respect her more as a driver, I think its silly but true.

[InvisibleTeeth]

perhaps...there are quite a few female drivers that are more talented than her but not as pretty..like Ana Beatriz...and there's a slew of younger, more talented girls in NASCAR that will show her that just being a female wont automatically escalate her.

[xupthree60]

@InvisibleTeeth

you are an IDIOT invisible teeth!

first off RHR is on the same damn team as Danica, and I dont know why you think RHR is such a great driver. They both raced barber dodge at about the same time and Danaca was the same there as she is now, very consistent, while RHR couldn't find a apex to save his life.

Her popularity might be because of her good looks but her ride isn't. If you got "good" rides for being pretty than Milka would be driving for one of the red teams.

[InvisibleTeeth]

@xupthree60 Alright, genious...look at when I posted that. That's right, February. Before they even ran a damn race in the season.

NOW RHR is in the same equipment in a PART time team...oh and he's already been WAY better than Danica...including the WIN at Long Beach.

He's 50 points and 5 spots ahead of her in the points. He'd be even further up if Mike Conway didn't try to drive thru him on the last lap of the Indy 500....oh that's another thing, he has broken fingers, what's Danica's excuse?

[Aegishjalms]

@AfroKidd95

It's not like usa has brought many great drivers to F1 recently

[beavertime86]

ahhhh hahahaha "I have no idea what happened" sounded like she was crying.... women

[gokb18]

these are not cars

fuck open wheel

[xjoe17]

danicas crazy anyways so we have nothing to worry about! lol

[nudracr]

lol if she's not nearly wiping out other teams leaving the pits, she's nearly wiping out the pace cars. lmao

[BloodxGusher]

Dam Danicia has some bad luck. I still think she can win.

[Fatguywthnojob7374]

The guys in the safety truck were like "WTF!?"

[metalgear01]

this is the main reason why the schu would never race indy car at the 500.....indy cars are too light. formula 1 cars are better built and protect you much better then indy cars. go F1!!!!!!!!! lol

[zandylovesrisk]

if a NASCAR ran into somebody like how Dario did they proboly would have just spun out but beacuse Indy cars are so much lighter, was pretty much like going off a ramp

[mc179]

k aburrido

[MVPVDO]

Biggest BONEHEAD move I have ever seen in racing. Good job Danica...maybe the IRL can tell the "others" to pit so they can give you the win!!

[hopsyn]

You should blame the teams for these incidents although I think its suspicious that Dario runs up and eventually runs into someone, his team should have told him it was the last lap. Danica's tire problem was the crews fault, for the tire to blow out at that speed is just stupid they should have replaced them. Just bad pit strategy/ decision!

[nighthawk650]

great....dario judd gets back into indy cars, that means we get to see and listen to his repusive, idiotic wife blabbering nonsense again in 2009. i was so happy when he went to NAPCAR, nobody ever interviewed her then. as for our little darling danica... that was such a hoot hearing her rant on the radio, must have thought she had goodyear run flats on her car, LOL wasn't she driving too fast to catch up to traffic when her tire blew?? i think so.

[cordb]

how stupid is that, the "safety car" out there on the tack while cars are going 100mph

[zandylovesrisk]

i think there was a caution and she was trying to catch the tale end of the cars

[cordb]

Either way it is extremely dangerous...normal vehicles aren't designed to have an object cut into them at 100mph..., there should be some sort of speed limit while safety and cleanup crews are on the track, thats all im saying

[DocGorilla]

There is, thats what the yellow flag means.

[delquattro]

Dario came in too hot and had to swing wide, but it's Danica's fault? The announcer clearly has a bias against Danica.

Too bad the footage doesn't show more when she spun out exiting pitlane, but flatspotting her tires is probably what led to the blowout later. Stupid girl, tires never blow out on guys. (/sarcasm)

[andrea78df]

Dario said it was his own fault...so that's enough for me.

[masurra]

Its amazing what a rookie she is, all mouth almost no driver talent and a great ride, u really see it here on youtube, where there are several videos of more rookie driver errors from her in one and a half season than some drivers ever have in their whole career in major leagues. Spinning twice under caution here and one time she almost wrecked the safety crew truck and wasnt that also her squeezed that car off pitroad, who was that btw?

[decmoyles]

dario was coming in to the pits to fast. he said it himself in the commentary

[hhJACK92]

i must say, dario was not to blame in either incident. dario was clearly driving at the normal pitlane entry speed when he comes up behind danica, who is also stuck behind Dixon. Im not accusing him here, but it does seem suspicious that while dixon should be fighting for the race, he backs off in the pits.

then in the second incident, dario wasnt told about the end of the race or anything. he cant be expected to keep count of every lap, or notice a tiny flag at 220mph

[anooseholay]

That's like saying I shouldn't have to look at traffic on the interstate when I am merging from the on ramp. As a driver it is up to him to watch the flag. The flags are very distinct and the checkered looks nothing like any of the others so yeah I think he was to blame and I think that he did well to admit it was his fault.

[hhJACK92]

Yes, but he is focussing on racing... hes closing in on matsuura, he has received no warning of the race nearly over, he is still pushing. Check the onboard footage. The flags are hardly obvious.

[UnashamedRebel]

wasn't the only time he screwed up twice in the same race. good thing hes a scotsman, because if any other foreigner did that, he should be kicked out of nascar.

[tradingbr]

man she's terrible
