What were you going to do, Danica?

Were you going to throw down? Were you going to try and kick his butt?
Danica Patrick was forced out of the Indianapolis 500 earlier today via a crash on pit row and after the race, she apparently had to have security restrain her from confronting the guy that knocked her out of the race. She was furious according to reports and in the post-race interview she certainly was curt to the on-site reporter just trying to do his job. Witnesses say that in the pit area, she had removed her gloves and seemed ready to fight.

Here is my question, WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO? Were you going to try and fight him? And if you were, was he going to be allowed to punch back? I get so confused Danica, because you say you want to be treated the same, but then you go out and do photo shoots for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue because you are a woman and you say you like being a woman in a man's world and all that crap. So I have to ask....would he have been allowed to hit you back after you slapped at him some?

You seem to fly off the handle too a bunch. The youtube video of you stomping around. Classic stuff. Here is the deal though. Even though you want to be treated like all of the other drivers, how about you ACT like all the other drivers. I didn't see Tony Kanaan trying to fight Marco Andretti after Andretti made a move to cost him first place. I also didn't see Kanaan go after Sarah Fisher as she crashed into him and cost him any sort of finish at all.

Danica, I see you making a lot of noise, ala Michelle Wie, but not doing much else. Oh, you won a race in Japan, or where ever it was held. Great job. You FINALLY won something. But until you start winning the ONLY race that matters on that circuit (the race that was held today at Indy) or you winning a points/season championship, I won't take you seriously because it seems you are pulling an Anna Kournikova,ie al lot of fluff with very little substance.

If you want me to take you seriously, win some big races, IN AMERICA and maybe I will give you your props, which I still haven't seen that you have earned. To be honest, I have seen better women drivers in downtown Atlanta on a Thursday afternoon. Sorry if that makes me sexist or whatever (it doesn't, because if she was a dude, she would have lost her ride a LONG time ago, if she/he had ever gotten that ride to begin with), but it is true. You want to play with the boys? Prove that you should be on their level and not just an attention grab.

Just please, no more photo shoots or appearances on Letterman until you win something in AMERICA. How bout it? Deal?

Oh I would have LOVED it if the security had not stepped in. That dude would have laid you OUT after he stopped laughing at you. Can someone youtube THAT?
