Lady race car drivers fighting: Danica Patrick and Milka Duno

IRL IndyCar Series driver Milka Duno took the high ground Monday after a towel-throwing, profanity-laced confrontation between herself and Danica Patrick during practice for Sunday's race in Lexington, Ohio. Duno, who says she tries to be a positive role model, wants to forget the incident.

The forgiving might be another issue. "I don't regret it because I didn't do anything bad," says Duno, who finished 23rd. "I was in my pits and she came with a bad attitude and bad language. And it was my reaction."

The minute-long spat between the only female drivers in the IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course was sparked when Patrick, who ended 12th, struggled to pass Duno during practice Saturday. Patrick said she just wanted to know if Duno was aware of her passing attempts; Duno denied she blocked Patrick.

Brian Barnhart, president of competition for the IndyCar Series, saw no reason to take action on the confrontation, league spokesman John Griffin said.

Caught on video by a Duno photographer, Patrick approached Duno in her pit after the session, insisting on discussing the incident. When Patrick didn't immediately leave, Duno threw a towel in her face, sparking foul language from Patrick.

I don't know why this couldn't be shown on "The World's Dumbest". I don't see anything offensive about it.
