Anna, I Mean Michelle, Oops, Danica Patrick Is Not Happy With Losing
Danica Patrick finished eighth in this weekend's IndyCar race, but that's not the story, that's an every week occurrence. The story is that she and Dan Wheldon got together on the track and she was none too happy about it.
From the AP:
[Danica] appeared close to passing Wheldon when the two cars came together, sending Patrick's car spinning into the infield grass. She made a great save, straightening out her car and getting back on track as the yellow flag came out.After the race she went straight to Wheldon to lodge her complaint.
"Then he said, 'You can't get caught up in the marbles' and I said, 'Well, that's a pass Dan.' I told him, 'If you don't think I'm going to remember this, I don't know why you're being like this, but if you don't think I'm going to remember, you're crazy,"' she added.Did anyone else notice while watching the Indy 500 that Danica doesn't seem to be a real happy person these days? Maybe it's because she has gotten more attention than an athlete who has never won an event should be getting and it's starting to affect her. Michelle Wie, anyone?
Wheldon didn't see the on-track incident the same way as Patrick.
"She obviously thought she was past me," he said. "She wasn't. I've been in this business long enough to know when someone is there and when somebody is not. Maybe it's a bit of inexperience there on her part."
As for the postrace confrontation, he said, "She's just feisty. There's a lot of pressure on her because she has not won a race and her teammates are (winning). I think in a situation like that, sometimes you get desperate. ... She's just being Danica. She'll be fine when she calms down."
