DANICA PATRICK.
  
When a beautiful young woman shows courage and passion for a sport like race car driving, it is natural to wonder where all this energy and talent came from. Danica Patrick, the 4th woman to ever start the Indianapolis 500, says she was prepared for the moment from the time she was born.
   
"It's just not really in the cards right now. When racing's over, that's the only time it would happen, but right now it's a no."

DANICA PATRICK STILL SEEKING INDY SPEED
Source: Yahoo News
May 12, 2006
NDIANAPOLIS - On the eve of pole qualifying a year ago at Indy, surprising rookie Danica Patrick was the fastest driver at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Through the first week of practice, the sensational youngster, then 23, was a pacesetter. Only a bobble in one turn of one of her four laps of qualifying on the historic 2.5-mile oval kept Patrick from winning the pole for the 89th Indy 500. But even qualifying fourth — the best by a woman at Indy — was enough to create a sensation.

Then, with "Danicamania" in full bloom, the diminutive Patrick became the first woman to lead the big race, winning top rookie honors with her fourth-place finish, the best by a woman.

She's still a sensation with the fans, drawing crowds wherever she goes. But Patrick hasn't been able to keep up the pace on the track. So far, she is 13th fastest for the week, with a fast lap of 223.084 mph.

"I look back and think, `That was nice and easy (last year).' But that's not always the case," Patrick said Friday, 24 hours before the scheduled start of qualifying for the May 28 race.

This week, with rain shortening or canceling every session since practice began on Tuesday, Patrick and the rest of her Rahal Letterman Racing team have struggled to keep up with the other top teams.

"We're struggling for sure," Patrick said. "We're doing the best we can. We just can't seem to get the car to grip up. We can't really trim (the car) out and go fast right now and we're trying to work around it."

The big difference for the Rahal team is the fact that all the entries at Indy are powered by Honda engines this year. Last year, with some of the other top teams using Toyota and Chevrolet engines, the Honda teams, including Rahal, had a definite horsepower advantage.

"That's another thing that's not working to our advantage now that we are among all Hondas," Patrick said. "Some of the other teams learned how to go fast last year without all the horsepower and now everybody has it and they're out front."

With their problems, track time is key for Patrick and teammates Buddy Rice, the 2004 Indy winner, and newcomer Jeff Simmons, but they and the rest of the Indy entries have been mostly stymied by the wet conditions.

Rice, who missed last year's race after being injured in a crash during the first week of practice, bruised his knees in another crash Thursday. He was cleared to drive Friday by track doctors, but his backup car remained in the garage as the rain fell.

"The weather has been tough on our team," Rice said. "But there's still the possibility of making everything come together. It's just going to take a little bit of work right now."

But the question remains: When are they going to do that work?

The final full day of practice before the opening of qualifying, known as "Fast Friday," turned out to be "Frustrating Friday" as the entire day's action was washed away by a steady cold rain.

And the forecast for the weekend isn't optimistic, either, with a 70 percent chance of rain and temperatures hovering around 50 both Saturday and Sunday.

The current format at Indy calls for four days of time trials — this weekend and next weekend — with 11 of the 33 starters qualifying each of the first three days and the final day reserved for faster drivers to bump out the slowest qualifiers.

Last year was the first year for the 11 qualifiers per day and Saturday was rained out, eliminating much of the drama as 22 drivers were able to qualify on Sunday.

When qualifying does take place, the list of favorites for the pole certainly will begin with two-time IRL IndyCar Series champion Sam Hornish Jr., the fastest driver here since practice began. Hornish shrugged off gusty winds Thursday to post a speed of 226.789 mph — the fastest of the week. That came during a four-lap simulated qualifying run.

Among the other fast drivers this week have been Hornish's Marlboro Team Penske teammate Helio Castroneves, a two-time Indy winner; Target Chip Ganassi drivers Dan Wheldon, the defending Indy champ, and Scott Dixon, and Andretti Green Racing entries Tony Kanaan, Dario Franchitti, Bryan Herta, rookie Marco Andretti and his father and team co-owner, Michael Andretti, making a comeback after being out of the cockpit since 2003.
PATRICK DEFENDS DECISION NOT TO RACE
Source: Newsday
March 29, 2006
HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Danica Patrick said Tuesday the Rahal Letterman Racing team made the right decision in keeping both her and teammate Buddy Rice out of Sunday's season-opening race at Homestead-Miami Speedway after the death of rookie Paul Dana.

"I don't think you can ever question the decision that your boss makes," she said during a break in testing on Homestead's road course.

Referring to team co-owner Bobby Rahal, she added, "If he would have said 'race' or 'don't race,' that's what I would have done. I race for him. I think he did a very, very good thing. This is life. We drive race cars, and it's what we love, and it's our job, but we don't walk out there a couple minutes afterward and say, 'I've forgotten already.'

"I don't think that anybody can critique the fact that he said `don't race.' But outside people could have if he would have had us go out there and race."

Patrick and Rice both plan to race on Sunday at St. Petersburg in the second IRL IndyCar Series race of the season.

Dana, a 32-year-old rookie, joined the team this season and was scheduled to make his first start of Rahal Letterman last Sunday. Instead, he was pronounced dead two hours after crashing into the nearly stopped car of Ed Carpenter, who had hit the wall several seconds earlier.

Carpenter spent a night in the hospital, but was released Monday, suffering from a bruised lung.

Patrick, last year's rookie phenom who led and finished fourth in the Indianapolis 500, said she didn't know Dana very well.

"I tend to keep a little bit to myself," she said. "I don't talk to very many people. I pretty much go from my motorcoach to my truck and to the track. I really didn't get to know him very well.

"I told him to move over a couple of times when he was sitting in my seat right next to my engineer," she said, smiling. "But he was a very nice guy. And, gosh, did he want it."

Patrick pointed out that Dana got his ride with Rahal by getting Team Ethanol to sponsor his No. 17 race car.

"Either you get a free ride or you bring a sponsor along," she said. "You can write your own checks, and you write your own ticket. He did the hardest thing; he got a sponsor to stand behind and give him a ride.

"They said, 'All right, Paul Dana, we believe in you.' I remember at the Christmas party, and I was sitting in a meeting with the team and I thought, 'What's going on here, is he going to drive for the team? I was surprised, but he made it happen. Good for him. And you know what, he was proving he was driving the thing. I was a little scared because he was keeping up with us. I think he did better than I expected."

Rice, the 2004 Indy 500 winner, remembered Dana as a driver with a lot of heart.

"That guy put everything he had into becoming a race car driver," Rice said Tuesday. "Obviously he got a little bit of later start than some of us; that's just the way of the course. I think he had a lot of drive, he had a lot of heart and he put everything he had into becoming a race car driver.

"Obviously, it was short but he got to do what he wanted to do and he made it to the top level."

Patrick said race car drivers understand that it is their job to race, even under difficult circumstances. She said there was no hesitation about getting back in the cockpit this week.

"Things are a lot more somber, and rightfully so," she said. "Somebody died. It sounds a little bit cold, but it is the job. We do have to keep racing, but we will give him the best tribute and the best thoughts and prayers that we can."

Could Danica Patrick, the breakout star of the Indy Racing League, be hitting the home of NASCAR in Concord?

We should have an answer in the next few days.

The Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce is courting Patrick to appear at its "Up to Speed: Diversity in Motorsports" event, the chamber's annual motorsports gathering that focuses on changes in the industry and the sport.

Racer Danica Patrick is speeding to a grocery aisle near you. And she's traveling with NASCAR driver Leilani Munter and pro dragster Melanie Troxel to be featured as "Race Divas'' on packages of Hostess Twinkies and other snack cakes.
