Danica creating a wave of interest
source: paddocktalk.com With Danica Patrick riding a wave of media attention at the Indianapolis 500, and fresh off the cover of Sports Illustrated, inquiring minds want to know if the biggest open-wheel oval race outside of Indy will benefit from Danica's rising tide, or if the effect will only be reserved for future Indy 500s. The Star-Telegram asked TMS promoter Eddie Gossage. He replied, "I don't know that we're going to see a significant or appreciable increase in attendance." The PaddockTalk Perspective: If Danica is going to save open-wheel racing, as some say, her appeal will have to have carry over beyond Indy.... Texas will be the first opportunity to see if some people optimistic perdictions will come true.
