First of all, let me set the record straight here, I like Danica
source: Iain Shankland - Flagworld contributor I met her in Homestead. She wasn't snobbish or bigheaded. I was around her for several interviews and she's very "normal." Whenever I've seen her interviewed on TV, she's been down-to-earth, again "normal". I've neither seen, nor heard of her making any big deal about herself. Personally, I think whoever advised her to get into a bikini and drape herself over those cars in pre-season should be fired. It degraded her and the sport. She's young and she's inevitably going to make mistakes, but I'm sure she won't do that again! So... What's the big deal about Danica Patrick? Why are the media so hung up on her? There are two drivers named Patrick turning left in the Indy Racing League. One (Patrick Carpentier) is a proven winner. The other is average. Yet the average driver is the one getting all the attention! Danica is an average driver in very good car, on a very strong team - Rahal/Letterman Racing. The other Patrick is driving for Red Bull Cheever Racing (affectionately referred to by some as the "Blue Turtles"). It could be worse; he could be driving for Ethanol-5 Laps Down-Racing.
