Re: Indy 500, who's watching it?
Danica Patrick is really "the talk of the town" She made an amazing run, not because she is a woman, but because of the circumstances. She stalled the car in the pit which lost several seconds. She bumped tires with another driver almost causing a severe crash. The got the front left wing knocked off, she spun out and did a 360, but still contiued to drive straight and on track. Then they had to pit early for the wing it took almost a whole minute to fix. AND to top is off, she had to pit again right after because apparantly the pits weren't officially "open" so they made her go back in.

After the series of unfortunate events, it was an amazing performance. I look forward to her win next year! Until then, watch her host Powerblock on Spike TV every weekend.
