Danica did get hosed leaving her final pitstop, but Scott Dixon had the better machine and ran a much better race.

i missed the contact but saw the video a few minutes later of Danica Storming down pit road to find that guy who hit her- Ryan Briscoe- she was looking to kick his ***




and i d say he's damn lucky the Security people managed to divert her. he was about to get his clock cleaned by her on national TV.

here's a vid of the power walk down pit road

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qxJBTeeb8U

you can see her stripping the gloves off as she is contemplating getting her hands dirty and then the big black dude stops her and points her over the wall.

this is the actual footage from the tv studio with the commentators

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCk8F9jofpo

she gets out of the car at 3:15 of the vid. you can see when she is finally diverted she is actually only one pit away from briscoe- who is still in his car and can see her coming in his mirrors

vid of the actual clip where you see he almost hit the driver in front of her too

...which means she's hot about 2% of the time.

I'm not going to get into the attractiveness factor. That's a subjective thing and has no bearing on my dislike for her.

My main issue is that she takes herself so seriously. She literally walked around the track stomping her feet like a child throwing a temper tantrum. She is vocally irritated by the fact that people say she's only a celebrity because she's a woman in a man's sport, but goes around and poses provocatively in magazines saying it "improves the Danica Patrick branding". She weighs 100 lbs and stomps around like she's going to do something. That's like those stupid 2 lb dogs that bark up a storm thinking they're a big dog.

It would have been great to see her get over to Briscoe's car. He might be the one driver she could whoop.
