Danica Patrick Sets Historic First-Ever Mark In Japan



Uploaded by: edmundjenks
Video Description:
On a day where the possibility of water seeping onto the race track threatened to postpone racing at Twin Ring Motegi, Japan (as it had done the day before), Danica Patrick uses her skills and her cool foot to out drive, out pace, and out last the top echelon of Indy Racing League drivers to become the first-ever female driver to win a race at the highest levels of professional open-wheel automobile racing.
2008 will easily go down as a year of firsts in American Motosports!
First unified open-wheel racing season in well over a couple of decades (INDY perspective). The youngest driver to win a professional open-wheel automobile race (Graham Rahal at age 19). First team to win an IRL race other than the three top teams in the IRL since 2005 when Newman/Haas /Lanigan placed Graham Rahal in the top spot in St. Petersburg. And NOW - - - The first woman to ever win a race at the highest levels of professional open-wheel automobile racing.

Thanks for posting this. My Tivo missed it because of the rain delay. I have watched every race for the last two and a half years - and this is the one I missed. I feel better after seeing the highlights on youtube.

If I weighed 120 pounds, I'd probably get great fuel mileage, too...at least compared with my competitors.

Who gives a shit what she weighs. Talent is talent and she has a ton of it. I am so happy for her. All the crap she has had to put up with over the years. I hope they all choke on their words now. Way to go Danica!!!

they changed the weight rules this year. All the cars weigh the same, driver included. Extra weight is added to her car to even it out with everone else.
Her weight has ... ( 5 months ago by CourtyardPigeon)
Her weight has nothing to do with it you idiots. The cars weigh the same regardless of who is behind the wheel. She is a very talented driver. She's up at the top in every race, and you idiots who talk shit couldn't handle one lap with her.
yeah but its still ... ( 5 months ago by yomi1896)
yeah but its still not the same and seeing it on tv.
Array ( 5 months ago by arnoler)
3 things:
1-as gobucs28 said, new rules require weights be added so CAR+DRIVER match closely.
2-After 40 yrs watching racing (yeah, I'm old), it's become obvious just how good a driver has to be to be FAST while SAVING FUEL, driving extremely smooth so not to scrub away momentum. Danica's shown she can do that as well as any other. That alone proves she's got the stuff.
3-Let's see a 5'2" 100 lb man go out there and whip a car around the track like she does.
Give her the credit she deserves!

Wow what a way to win lmao everyone in the top 8 ran out of gas lmao. I would hate to win a race like that.
WTH a win is a win I guess. I guarantee you guys she wont win a race for the rest of the season unless the top 5 or so runs out of gas.. lol

She's not that great of a driver seriously people open your eyes for a change don't let this women driver Hype bullshit distort the facts.
Last time I looked, ... ( 5 months ago by cmumailman)
Last time I looked, IRL legend A. J. Foyt won two of his four Indy 500s because the guy ahead of him either ran out of gas or popped an engine part. Gee, I would hate to win a race like that, but I don't recall him apologizing in Victory Lane. Didn't three guys pass Danica in the last ten laps of Indy 2005--when she was leading the race--because she was low on fuel? If she wins again I guarantee you guys like the one below will find something else to cry about.
its not like the ... ( 1 week ago by sombermike)
its not like the other drivers just run out of gas suddenly, you have to know when to push and when to ease off. she demonstrated that perfectly.
