Australian driver Will Power won Sunday's Indianapolis 500 race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway -- after he took the lead with four laps to go, and never looked back...Patrick,...It was supposed to triumphantly cap her "Danica Double," which began at the Daytona 500, where she also crashed out well short of the finish..."This is just a chapter in the book," Patrick captioned the post. "Today feels heavy, but only because the chapter finishing has meant so much to me...I am at a lack of words today."

Shocking! She never crashes /s
Wall never forget you.
You are correct, she seldom crashes and has one of the highest finishing ratios in Indy Car Racing. Many drivers got loose and spun in that corner today.
The headline makes it seem as if Patrick was ever a factor to win the race. She was as much of a factor as she was in her NASCAR career. Honestly, had she stayed in open wheel, she may have legitimately won some races
live thread from today’s race- as i stated, if her name was Dan Patrick and not Danica, she would’ve been forced to dirt tracks a decade ago...

Fitting name.
A woman didn’t win the Indy-500? I’m shocked.
Memorial Day brings back the memories. We lived on the west coast. The race was tape delayed. The kids in the neighborhood didn’t know that.
I’d ask my dad who won, and he’d tell me.
So I’d bet and always win. I’d even let these guys change their bet mid-stream, usually to whomever was in the lead at that time.
I loved Memorial Day.
I was at the race. It was REALLY hot. We think the heat made the cars loose and the drivers fatigued.

One of my sons would have done that.:-)

Yep. Here’s her crash. Looks like she was the only one who lost it there.

I saw that. My wife despises her for her marginal skills and “like me cause I’m a woman” attitude.
How many does that make for Penske? I know it’s a lot.

There’s a great kids series of books called The Great Brain.
You’d probably like that if you’re not familiar.
She ended her NASCAR tours with a crash and no wins. Why did she get a car for this Indy 500?
I saw a photograph of her standing with an NFL QB. She is really tiny.
If you catch her in the right light, she can be very pretty.
The answer is embedded in the question.
So?
