    Some comments in the media though are not so good!

    “Danica Patrick’s first IndyCar win in the Japan 300 was more a triumph in public relations than auto racing.

    It didn’t happen as the result of a final lap, wheel-to-wheel battle, one that many close observers of the sport feel she will never win.

    It instead was more a battle between the race engineer’s computers on the Andretti Green team and that of her rival Helio Castroneves’ Penske Racing team. It was a matter of who would get the best fuel mileage in the final handful of laps of the 200-lap race.”

    I just think the macho American are men are more worried that she has a Beaver!
