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…

    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

    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.

First of all I'm not black but you being a STUPID PIECE OF RACIST WHITE TRASH I can see how you would make that conclusion. What have you ever done in your PATHETIC LOSER of a life that makes you seem so superior?
