I ::Heart:: Danica Patrick
April 20th, 2008 by Evil Beet
On Sunday, the 26-year-old hottie became the first woman to win an IndyCar race, taking home the big prize for the Indy Japan 300.
“It’s a long time coming. Finally,” she said. “It was a fuel strategy race, but my team called it perfectly for me. I knew I was on the same strategy as Helio [Castroneves] and when I passed him for the lead, I couldn’t believe it. This is fabulous.”
And Helio’s response?
“With five laps to go, I was saving fuel. When Danica passed me, I realized she was the leader. She did a great job, passed me fair and square and that shows you how competitive our series is.”
I love that she thanks her team almost immediately. I love that she uses the term “fabulous.” I love that she’s wearing cute earrings and bad-ass shades in this picture. I love that she’s not afraid to embrace her femininity while competing in a hugely male-dominated, male-oriented sport. She’s so kick-ass in so many ways. I hope she sees many more wins in the future.

Pretty F*cking Awesome
Of course when she went to park the car she crashed it.
shes so cool
omg. she even uploaded her sexy videos on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named ” S earching Millionaire com” …does she want to hook up with hot guys
No to mention she’s got a Serb name.
the race was also fierce and tranny fab….
She’s fierce! This is a true feminine icon with the added plus that she didn’t star in THe Hills. My she-ro!
GO DANICA!
Very cool.
Great race, great competitor.
Wonder what her next strategy will be…the fuel idea was genius
> the fuel idea was genius
Only if you are a chick and think this is new.
^What the hell?
Gender has nothing to do with this, and obviously if she won the race, the fuel strategy worked and the competition’s butt.
What the hell’s your problem man? Go masturbate and stop being so mean.
donkey man is kinda right sorry…
i love that a woman won! yay!
Who gives a damn if the fuel idea is old or new? SHE WON
That’s numero uno for you retards
Man. People sure do throw a lot of crap her way because she’s a woman in NASCAR. (Her freakin swagger doesn’t help much.)
Problem is she’s gonna win big stateside sooner or later. She is in it for the long haul. When she does they’re gonna have a whole lot of crow to eat. That’s gonna suck.
Eh. I ::Heart:: her too. Go kick their asses Danica!
And fuel conservation has been standard strategy since racing started.
Her body weight was an issue at one point, but they changed the rules to include driver weight in car weight, so that’d even out. (And I can’t imagine that’d be much of a big deal, even as close as car tolerances are these days.)
She didn’t do herself any favors by posing for FHM & SI Swimsuit pics though. :/
I like the shades, too. Know what brand they are?
