Video surfaces of Danica dustup Story Highlights
Patrick argued with the less experienced driver about getting in her way She has previously confronted fellow drivers Ryan Briscoe and Dan Wheldon sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/racing/07/20/danica.dustup.ap/ Video on page LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) -- Roger Penske came up with a surprising strategy Sunday that Ryan Briscoe turned into his second IndyCar Series victory, but the buzz was still on Saturday's confrontation between Danica Patrick and fellow female IRL driver Milka Duno. After finishing a practice run and getting out of her car, Patrick quickly walked to where Duno, the only other woman racing here this weekend, was pitted and argued with the less experienced driver about getting in her way several times during the practice. The altercation lasted only about a minute, but witnesses said it grew heated and that Duno flung a towel in Patrick's direction at one point as the two exchanged words. Patrick eventually walked away. Patrick, who has previously confronted fellow drivers Briscoe and Dan Wheldon after racing incidents, brushed off the latest dustup, saying, "I just wanted to know if she saw me out there." Duno was not immediately available for comment. Things didn't get better for Patrick after the confrontation. In the No. 20 spot in Sunday's starting grid, Patrick ran a consistent race to finish 12th. Because of a wet track at the start, Patrick had to pit early in the race and that led to her going green down the stretch. "I had to conserve fuel the last stint of the race," she said, "but I was able to gain some positions and get some points." A year ago, Patrick started second but was nearly wiped out in a first-lap accident along with Andretti Green teammates Marco Andretti and Dario Franchitti. |

Or the whipped cream pit |

"I just wanna talk to her about it" as she's flipping someone the bird.
The proper place to discuss it is in the drivers meetings. |
|
I thought she was flipping her off too ,but if you view it again it looks like she was giving a three finger expression of what she said verbally. "...three times...." |
|
|
Isn't that the point of racing...to keep people from passing you?
|
|
Tend to agree. |
|
|
Danica should have beat the piss out of her.
She would be famous...er. |
|
I volunteer for one-on-one counseling with each of them, followed up with a group session between the three of us.
Ya know, just to bridge the gap that exists between the two. |
|
DAM! know wonder why shes so mad. New hottie on the track, and this one makes her look like a MAN |
|
|
Actually Duno is the one that looks like a man. Well not a man, but she isn't exactly anything to look at either. Huge rack though, that counts. |

|
You sure that aint her mother? |

|
Why do guys pant over Danica Patrick? She's about as feminine as Venus and Serena Williams. She reminds me of the short Darth Vader in Space Balls. A little gnomish "tomboy" who has somehow fooled the media into thinking she's cute, which she isn't - not even remotely.
And her macho posturing is bullshit. She acts tough, because she knows that no male driver would ever hit her back. |
|
It could be that... doing it with the forefinger down. |

|
Damn Patricks all got tempers, can't live with'em, can't live without'em.
|
|
I totally agree! She aint no Ashly Force! |
|
|
|
a physical fight is what brought NASCAR to the main stage |
|
|
most boring "cat fight" ever.
more like 2 chicks arguing over how they are both bad drivers and have nothing intresting to say or pull hair. |
|
Damn. I was hoping for the race suits to get ripped off in a good ol' fashioned cat fight.
|
|
I could grow fond of her mouth |
|||
|
If Danica could just drive as aggresively out of the pits as she does in the pits, she would be in the top 5% instead of mid pack. I'm just saying! |
|
|
I DO-no how |
||
|
Danica is really becoming an annoying bitch. |
|
|
I've had about enough of Whanica and her bitchy attitude. She nearly amputated a few of Scott Dixon's crew the other week in the pits, and last year she about took out a safety vehicle. Where does she get the nerve to think she is always the one in the right?
|
|
I dont need to see a cat fight between a couple angry bitches on a goddamned race car track.
|
|
During practice? From what I've read, the whole paddock is getting tired of Danica's act. |
|
|
Both half right, one has the face of a man, the other the body of a boy. |
|||
|
I'm sure they've been sick of it for awhile, but at first they didn't want to say anything in fear of bringing bad press to the league's media darling. Now that things are improving for the series they've probably become more vocal about her BS. |
||
|
In some of her "glamour" shots, she looks like somebody punched right in the middle of her flat, no-titties chest, and the dent stuck. |
||||
|
I got to meet Danica last year.... She is very short and a bitch.
|
|
What did she do that made you think she was a bitch? I don't doubt you, just curious. |
|
|
Well shit. I just might start watching open wheel racing now. |
||
|
I met her at the Mid-Ohio races last summer... The company I worked for sponsors her team (millions) and we got a photo shoot, lunch, and meet and greet with her and Tony Kanan. Tony was all smiles and jokes and was a hoot to be around, she was pissed, very short with you, kind of 'get this pic taken and get me out of here' attitude, and she only stayed a whopping 10min for lunch. I was very put off by her. Tony is a funny bastard though, the kind of guy you would want to go out drinking with. |

|
|
+1 and we all know pissy bitches love 'competition' from hotter chicks. She's getting tiring with her little hissy fits. |
||
|
Looked to me like she flipped off one of the guys for his comment while ragging on Duno.
The What the Hell when Duno threw the towel at her a second time was hilarious. On the cat fight scale I give it about a two. A couple of fuck yous or a least a slap could have made it very outstanding though. |
|
Ya, she's full of herself |
|||
|
Danica shoulda dropped Milka...Milka can't race, she was 6 laps down...she is a figment of men's imagination. Danica can actually race and knows how to..none of the men say anything to Milka because she is a babe.
Danica FTW! |
|
danica seemed pretty composed to me.
i'll have make up sex with both of 'em if it'll help. |
|
It is my understanding that during practice, the slower drivers are supposed to give the right of way to the faster drivers. If Duno didn't do that then she is in the wrong.
|
|
No doubt. You can see the constant bitchiness is starting to wear in Danica's face in the SI pics. Only a few more years and those frown lines will be engraved in. Time is very hard on women, more so the miserable ones. |
