At first, I thought Danica was responsible for the flareup, but after watching the video, reading the comments at the article link with others explaining what they saw, and then listening to both of them speak about the incident, I am not sure who is to blame for the flare-up?

Danica lived up to her name...Danica GoBackwards

Pushed to the front several times she still managed to race her way back deep in the pack.

No mas.

Danica Patrick from earlier this year: “I leave it up to the government to make good decisions for Americans.”

The video clearly shows Hornish trying to run her up in to the wall to keep her from passing.

Or, as Hornish says, he cut a tire...

It’s racing, sh**t happens.

Back in the old days, the two drivers would have settled this back in the pits man-to-man but I guess that isn’t an option in this case.

Looks like she’s adjusting to NASCAR.

I saw it when it happened and during the replays. She did the right thing.

It was Hornish's fault. He cut her off and pushed her into the wall to keep her from passing and she paid him back.

Over and done. And Hornish apologized to her after the race.

Respect on the track is earned.

“Back in the old days, the two drivers would have settled this back in the pits man-to-man but I guess that isn’t an option in this case.”

In this case, couldn't the driver's have gotten a bottle of Jack Daniels, a couple of packs of cigarettes, and a room at Motel 6 to fight it out over the weekend. The first one to die from exhaustion would be declared the loser and the other would have a tremendous feeling of accomplishment — not to mention a smile.

Oh, wait! Mr. Patrick objects to Mrs. Patrick’s solution to the problem. Better to just shoot him, Mr. Patrick.

If you saw the replay, Sam pushed her into the wall as she tried to pass him. She pushed him back. Not a big deal. People enjoy this sort of thing when it’s Allison, Foyt and Petty, but for some reason they think Danica is childish or a spoil sport for doing the same thing.

Hornish pretty much forced her into the wall...her response was fairly restrained considering.

From what I saw, Hornish and Patrick were racing to the line.
Danica had the mommentum on the out side line.

Hornish came up the track and squeezed her to the wall.
Danica got hot and showed him how it's done correctly.

Although this was overkill on Danica's part, punching him out after the race probably wasn't an option either.

Don’t have my glasses on and had a WTF moment at the headline upon first read:

Video: Danica Patrick weds Sam Hornish Jr. after checkered flag
