Danica Patrick is Ready to Rumble

Posted on May 25, 2008 - 5:32pm by loretta

Danica Patrick had to be stopped by Indy 500 track security today, May 25th, as she made her way towards Ryan Briscoe's pit crew.

Apparently Patrick became furious after being hit by Ryan as she was leaving the pit lane. She got out of her car and started walking towards Briscoe's pit ready to fight. Track Security stopped her and told her to return to her pit.

Later Patrick said,

I was ready to take it all off, my helmet and everything- because its hard to talk through the helmet. It's probably a better idea that I didn't make it all the way down there anyway because, well, as you guys know, I'm a little emotional.

We've always known that Patrick was a fierce competitor, but willing to fight a man because of a race. That is one tough lady.

That is horrible. She is suppose to be a role model for young women, they do not need to see her fighting on/off the track.

I hope she fights him and loses, because I cannot stand her.

Wait, why does she want to fight him?! Because she lost? That's real sportsmanship...

Keep it on the track and hit him back by winning.... boys don't like when girls play in their games and beat them at it--who showed the first unsportsman like behavior here? If it was another guy that went to hit him, would we even be talking about it or would it just be expected?

I agree that it is bad leadership and sportsmanship to want to fight someone when losing a race / sport. She should have cooled down before reacting so emotionally. At the same time, cool to see a female racer.

Some day she is going to pick a fight with the wrong dude and then she, not her car, will get the "fine tuning" that she deserves.........What a punk ass b****.......Accidents happen Danica,,,,learn to accept it and move on.......Some day somebody will beat you to the "punch"....

That is just stupid! Race cars crash all the time. Anything boys can do girls can do better!!! Why doesn't she just prove it on the track.

[...] isn’t Patrick’s first time confronting another driver. She has also challenged fellow drivers Dan Wheldon and Ryan Briscoe after other racing incidents. [...]

What's wrong with all you MCPs out there? How many times do you have to see the film of Briscoe running into Danica? He was wrong! He caused the accident! Show some manly maturity. I can't stand so called, men, who whine when a woman betters them.
