Bruce Martin of Sports Illustrated scored the all-access pass to trail Danica Patrick around during the IndyCar race at Sonoma. Bruce maximized his opportunity by cranking off a 3,300-word tome. This is the first time Danica has done such a Day in the Life deal, so it's a big scooperoo for Bruce.
My favorite part is, of course:
"I get so dehydrated at these races I don't think I will be drinking any wine tonight, but I will have a beer," she said. "How NASCAR of me."
No doubt in Danica's own pressdog DRINK, ye BASTARDS beer stein.

Nice story. I am one who will miss Danica Patrick racing an IndyCar. I think she is an above average driver on ovals. Twistys? Not so much. Except for an all too brief period with Sarah Fisher doing well, Danica has certainly been the most competitive woman IndyCar driver thus far. I have been to more Indy 500's than I can recall. Looking back over the years, I cannot remember a crowd reaction that was as electric and exciting as when Danica came around leading the 2005 Indy 500 race. That is a long way from the Sugar River Go Cart track here in southern Wisconsin where she began her racing career.
It is unfortunate that her GoDaddy commercials are so dumb.
My interaction with and observations of Danica at Milwaukee have always been positive. She is particularly good with kids.
Now if we can Bill Clinton to go to Switzerland and bring back Simona, that would be a good thing.
Thanks for posting this stuff Bill.

I don't know why Bruce Martin claimed that Danica's hair was black or why he claimed that she "climbed" into an Indy car (as if it were a monster truck).
