Congratulations to Danica Patrick on winning her first race!!  I know she had been taking heat for not having any wins under her belt.
 
All chauvanistic comments aside, seriously, she's a good draw for the IRL and makes for some interesting competition.  They noted on the news this morning that this race was her 50th outing.
 
Should make the month of May a little more interesting around 16th & Georgetown over on the west side of town!!

LOL....I don't think they had a choice, she won fair and square IMO, (I know you were kidding). One car was out before the end of the first lap (Andretti, I believe), temperature was a problem. She was having problems with wing load and tire pressures, once they got those right, she just took off like a bullet. The last three laps were all Danika, they are pretty happy on Godaddy!
 
She was crying at the end, but hey, I'd cry too!!!
