    Default Indy 500 excitment

    Danika Patrick is in first but low on fuel. How cool would it be to see a woman win the race?! I'm biting my nails & hoping she can do it!

    I was wanting Danica to win! I think she is someone who should not be underestimated. She is going to give them boys a run for their money.

    This is the first time in a long time I actually sat and watched most of the race. I was hoping that she would win it. Especially after the comments by Robbie Gordon. He is such a jerk. She made history though by leading laps, and finishing in the top 5.

    I know what you mean about R. Gordon. Here is a link to the article:

    http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/3647616

    IMO he is just jealous. I mean it took him 5 Indy 500's to get to 4th place and she finished that high in her first one. Who cares if she's lighter then the rest, more power to her.

    What a jerk!!!! I would think its just a tad bit of jealousy!!! I wonder what he would say if it was a guy who only weighed 100 pounds......hmmmmmm I'd bet a hundred he wouldn't have said it.

    I was thinking the same thing. If he wants to complain about her, he needs to complain about the guys that weigh less than him as well. Wonder if he wants to complain about something he doesn't like on the NASCAR circuit and threaten to not race it anymore as well...lol
