Girl Power

Filed under: Zportz

danicapatrick.jpg

On Sunday, Danica Patrick became the first woman to win an Indy Car Race.

She defeated two-time Indy 500 winner and Dancing with the Stars champ Hélio Castroneves by nearly six seconds to take home the first place trophy at the Indy Japan 300.

Patrick covered 200 laps at the 1.52-mile course in one hour, 51 minutes.
Congrats!

Will we see Danica go after the Dancing title, too?

    Who gives a ratsass about Manica Patrick? As an avid race fan, she does nothing to impress me. There are lots of women in racing that are way better than her that is for sure! But whatever. People who aren't into racing will jump on her skanky bandwagon and think she's a great racer….lmao…

    47

    She did win but big deal. The field was less then competitive. She needs to win a major race with a strong field to prove herself. Besides all the credit really should go to her crew chief who won a gas millage competition. She was not fighting it out with other drivers. Six seconds at that speed is like 1/4 a mile. Give her some credit but all she really did was not run out of gas

  48. Roundy-Round Racing Is Pointless says – reply to this

    and she'll be known as the first woman to cry like a baby after winning. way to go, danica: show your strength by weeping like a baby.

  54. Fo Realz says – reply to this


    54

    I'm really happy for her, but people who call car drivers "athletes" are seriously fucked in the head. There's nothing athletic about sitting in a car and turning the steering wheel. A one-legged 72 year old who weighs 450 pounds can drive a car just as fast as these "athletes". It's so lame.

    Give me a break, this chick has about as much talent in a racing car as I have doing hair braids. Her win is a complete joke based on fuel mileage and although the sport will benefit from a female personality to think that she is truly fast enough as a driver is ridiculous.
    She takes the job away from someone more deserving because she has breasts and a cute smile.

    [re=1996424]Re: GARY[/re I' so sure you graduated from Penn. You know standing at the Defendant Table does not count as Law School. Your not even smart enough to figure out the cap lock key. Your a racist and homophobic. Quick question if you dislike gay people why are you on this site other then to piss off other people. You know posting on a site where nobody can prove you lies says something about your character (not that you have any) Do us all a favor and SHUT THE HELL UP!

    Whats the matter Gary? The Drive through at Taco Bell backing up? You forget how to make change for a dollar? Or maybe you found some other group of people to be intolerant towards. Just to let you know I'm a UNC grad. and currently serving in the US Army. But wait let me guess you are a retired General or something else. I have a hard time believing you have a English degree because your arguing on the lowest possible denominator ( race, sexuality) this thought process shows a clear lack of intelligence.

    Your math is wrong. It's impossible figures.

    200 laps x 1.52 mile course = 304 miles

    It is impossible: 304 miles in 51 minutes = 357 mph, stupid.

  86. Indy racing blows and she one by everyone else running out of gas says – reply to this


    86

    She's a bitch and so is her mom. there are only about 6 cars that can win in that stupid series every race and half the time they only get about 15 entries. good for her now whut up and win one by REALLY beating them, which means passing them during green flag racing. When everyone else pulls off for running out of fuel and you make it, it's lucky. She's good , but shew aint all that. And why do they make a big deal of her being a woman? All they say is treat me like another racer. BS! Take of your cloths whore and pose in SI again, no one cares. And next year they are combining leagues so she will actually have a full field to compete against. 1 win every 50, WOW! she might have 5 wins by the time she retires! midget skank………………….

    Re: GARY – You know I'm surprised you haven't gotten a Pulitzer or a Nobel prize for literature. Do us all a favor and give it up. Nobody likes you. You are filled with hate and can't make an intelligent argument if your life depended on it. All you can do is spew garbage like the inbred dumbass you seem to be. If you had an English degree your posts definitely do not reflect it. Tell the truth your an Eighth grade drop out whose family tree only has branches on on side.

    You must have shit for brains if you think we believe you are a avid race fan. Go google up this Ladies record and find how many times she finishes in the top 10, and how many races she finishes with eq in tac. Compare this recored with her peers and then you can talk about knowing racing. I bet you are jealous. Can you even fit in a race car? Will it Pull you If you get in it. And learn how to spell her first name, you may have the wrong person.

    96

    she didn't win because she out-raced everybody. she won because she was on a different pit strategy… that her crew chief determined. she was in the right place at the right time. if she spent less time promoting herself in sports illustrated & more time practicing, she would have done this a long time ago. it's pathetic how everybody can be talking about her first win… in her 3rd season of racing. i work in a male dominated industry & you don't see me jumping for joy when i accomplish something i've been paid to do.

    i have been around indy racing since i was little and she is a bitch. i have met her before and she is not all that great. during the race weekends she is always pouting and throwing tempertantrums. there are women in the indy racing league that are much more talented than her but she gets all of the attention becasue she is so "pretty" but in real life she's not pretty at all

  100. pit panther says – reply to this


    100

    i've been around racing since i was little too & danica is NOTHING special. she exploits the media, and vise versa. she throws temper tantrums, still makes rookie mistakes, and is just all around not a nice person. i have very very close ties to indy racing & not once has danica ever been remotely nice. her little sister is really great - i've talked to her. & i hear that shes a nice girl but she needs to stop being such a drama queen. & not do the equivalent of doing a peace sign next to the trophy. OY. i want to see sarah fisher with a win - now thats a girl that knows how to drive
