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."

The winner should write a book. “Triumph of the Will Power”. It would be even better if he switched to racing for BMW, since they own the Triumph nameplate.
I think she is John McCain’s real daughter...
I like Danica. She may be down the field a ways, but she is legitimate and doesn’t play the feminist card. She plays the real female card well though.
Danica, all I have to say is…

Yes, the real female card. Good choice of words. She put on quite a show.
How The Other Drivers REALLY Feel About Danica Patrick

She always gets a good starting position in the time trials because she weighs 60 lbs less than the other drivers.
WOW! I read The Great Brain when I was a boy - decades ago! Reminded me of my older brother.
She won once on the Indy car circuit I believe. In NASCAR? The little lady gets a lot of hype.
I loved The Great Brain.
Classic.
This race puts me to sleep nowadays- bring back pushrod engines and make everyone run em. Sure, it would slow everyone down but they have to do something!
several veterans crashed as well so nothing bad on Danica.
I was going to do it. LOL
But I waited......
I think she is attractive, and probably is a better driver than many men in the sport.
However, when a person gets to the top of that pyramid, it is all men, even though she might be better than many men down at the bottom, she generally doesn’t have a realistic shot at anywhere the top unless there is significant luck involved.
I had to find the graphic. All the others had “Verizon” (as you are aware).
At least they didn’t tow his car.
Watching her, she looked like one of those little kid football players where the helmet looks impossibly big on her...
I was going to say she wasn’t Penske material (just for the joke).
I would have taken the larger office.
Do you realize that this was her first Indy car since 2012?
Yes. Weight is very important! Light sports car enthusiasts know that well.
