Danica Patrick won a race

Finally! Congrats to her.

The best part is that now we won't have to hear all this crap about "another Kournikova". At least until another pretty girl gets famous in a sport without winning.

The worst part is that now we have to hear about her again.

Well, since she's apparently the "First Woman to Win a Major Auto Race", it makes sense that it's news.

I don't imagine tons of young girls will be following in her footsteps, but it's good for car-race-loving young girls to know they can if they want to, and that there's no reason they can't win.

So who's next? NBA, MBA, NFL, where are your women players?

[sasha]

There's a big reason holding most females back. If you don't look as good as Danica, you won't be given a spot in one of the best teams in IRL where any Joe Blow driver would eventually win a race.

As for who I'd like to see against the guys now... Lorena Ochoa. She's been crushing the poor girls the last month.

I love Lorena! And she's TINY. Next to those PGA guys, she'd look like Allen Iverson standing next to Shaq. I'd love to see her play against the boys.

Congratulations to Danica Patrick on finally winning her first professional auto race. It was long overdue and I hope she becomes a force in Indy Racing. But Danica is no Anna Kournikova who was the most popular female athlete of all time.

No. And I'm an Anna fantard.

I want Lorena to team up with Camilo Villegas. HOT. Dominance. 2 midgets that can hit massive drives.

No? No what?

And Lorena Ochoa is small? I never noticed that.
