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.
While I agree with what you're saying for the most part... I wouldn't be too sure of Danica Patrick not being able to whoop Ryan Briscoes ***. He's a prissy little twerp.

She also blames her equipment when her skills are lacking. "I'm slooow...." [directed at crew over radio] Drama queen.

Every race car driver blames their equipment when things don't go well.

She is no more dramatic than any other driver. The difference is that she's far more popular among the media and we see her more often.

Not only did Briscoe stay in the car but he even lowered his visor when he saw her coming.

She has a right to be pissed. Its not the first time Briscoe has taken her out of a race. He took her out at Infineon Raceway in 2005.
