This was Ms. Patrick's best and most skillful driving to date. Why don't people reserve the comments about mediocrity for that who never seem to make it to the front or even finish a race. Ms. Patrick is a reality that all the males that believe driving is a man's sport have to come to terms with. I am an ardent supporter of Ms. Patrick and I personally love what she's done for the indy series. If it weren't for her then I think the series as a whole would be in jeopardy.

Great job Danica, glad to see her bounce back after a bad Indy.

@alaaddie Oh yeah, mr. Liberal, we're all scared shitless aboutDainca BigMouth changing racing. She was also going to change the face of Indy racing. What happened? Her problem is the same as most Femnazis have; she shoots off her big mouth about how well she's GOING to do: then nothing happens! And if women are going to change everything, why is she working for an all-male crew instead of an all-female crew? And what is so God-awful wrong about men having something just for them?

She is so drugged up look at her eyes.

I hate her move to NASCAR, which means I stopped being a Danica fan immediately. I have to say that despite the lack of real success, I think there was more to expect from Danica after we saw her run at Indy in '05. It's not Danica's fault she only has one win in almost 120 starts. It's lack of equipment. In a Ganassi car, she probably would've finished in the top 3 in every championship, and would've had at least one Indy 500 win. And of course she would do better on road courses.

Texas loves you to, Danica!

SHE LOVES MAH STATE!!!! :D

@milovy Yeah it was good for Danica, but RYAN BRISCOE bounced back to win from an even worse Indy! Congrats to both as they're both great drivers!

@alaaddie - how many times did she win a competition? I mean, arriving in 1st place. Maybe.... one time? in how many races? around 80? ...well, if she is the best female on earth in car driving, definitely "driving is a man's sport". she's just the exception that confirms the rule.

[wiseguyknowsit]

@clre97 I don't think she's overrated at all. Overrated means people think youre the bet even if you don't win. But in Danica's case she's just popular because she's the first woman do actually to well consistently in Indy an she's attractive.

[alaaddie]

@SSArt98 Yeah, Sorry about that I got caught up in political correctness.

[jgye2006]

It sucks that sometimes she has to screw over her own teammates to get her way specially when they are the better driver
