Danick Patrick Makes Indy Car History With First Female Win Ever
It was never fair to mention Anna Kournikova's name in the same sentence as Danica Patrick's, but Patrick understood.

Kournikova was all about failed potential and commercial appeal and, even worse for women's sports, sex appeal. The now-retired Russian tennis player never won a singles title even though she was more than capable, but she drew the attention befitting a champion and didn't seem to be the slightest bit sheepish about it.

Patrick, who became auto racing's first female winner in IndyCar history on Sunday in Japan, is none of that, never was. But she also knows that for all the attention she had drawn over the first three-plus years of her pro career, much of it because she was the only woman driver and much of it because she also happens to be beautiful, there was a downside no one ever talked about much.

Danick Patrick is showing the woman doesn't have to walk 5 feet behind the man's @$$.

She did this in Japan ;-)

Congrats,I have been waiting a year for this. Diversity is the key to the world of any motor sports but you have to win at some point to make a difference.

evilm and xdrive,

You should know that if they do, the commercials are for YOU! Just because you both were castrated at birth doesn't mean anyone wants to hear you cry about. I would tell you to show some balls (but you can't) and challenge Patrick to a race (or Mika Dunno, Sarah Fisher, Janet Guthrie, Katherine Legge, or Lyn St. James...hell, I can keep going d-bags!). Beat her (or one of the others), then and only then, we'll be glad to read your ignorant comments.
History was made. Respect that. If you were real men, you would say what you wrote to her face.

Bored, try having a little sense of humor and quit taking this to the heart.

@ SHOWTIME,

Why don't you try figuring out what a good sense of humor is? Even if you don't find what they said offensive, it was lame, cheap, lacks bite, and old as hell! It may have been funny in the '60's and '70's if you want some historical perspective.
But if you find that funny, then we know you're just as stupid as them.

It takes years to develop the skills and she hasn't been around that long overall.

Lots of sexism going on here.

A win is a win, vagina or penis.
