Danica Patrick (Finally) Wins IndyCar Race

]]> Danica Patrick doubters take note: She’s not just a pin-up gal and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hottie. And now she’s not the Anna Kournikova (title-less during her singles career) of racing because Danica Patrick won an IndyCar race.

The 50th time proved to be the charm for Patrick, who nabbed the Indy Japan 300 victory at Twin Ring Motegi on Saturday. The win marks an IRL first not just for Danica Patrick but also for female drivers in the league.

So it’s official, people. History has been made. The video of Danica’s victory (3m, 11s)  is in Japanese (except for the “Danica Patrick” parts) and thus has an Iron Chef feel to it, all of which makes it more fun to watch. 

As faithful reader Pat, who gave us the heads-up on this story, observed . . . guess the new IRL weight rule didn’t matter after all.
