Danica Patrick is awesome. During today's Indy 500 she got clipped on pit row when Ryan Briscoe pulled into her. He put her out of the race, and she didn't like that one bit. So, she decided to go have a "talk" with the guy. The above picture is her marching down pit row. See the bald black guy coming over the wall? That's the head of IRL security coming to grab her and redirect her back to her own pit.
Danica Patrick weighs all of 100 pounds, and I believe she had every intention of going down and punching Ryan Briscoe right in the teeth. Even better, the announcers basically even endorsed her plan! This isn't the first time that Danica has gotten fired up, either. Last year she shoved Dan Wheldon in the chest for something. I have no idea what, because other than Indy, I really don't watch IRL racing, but he did something and she didn't like it. Also, some guy didn't get out of her way during a practice a couple of weeks ago, so she ran him over. Danica is not to be toyed with.
The best is how bitter she stayed. A full half hour after the wreck, they did a live interview with her, and I think it was all she could do to keep from screaming obscenities at the reporter. Sweet, beautiful Danica has a lot of rage, apparently. Anyway, I wish that I could find a video that showed her marching down pit row, as it is pretty awesome, but I can't. Enjoy instead this picture of Danica looking extremely angry...
Edit to add: Check my comments. My buddy Toby actually did find a link to her marching down pit row. The crowd is cheering, but what is especially interesting is how many people in pit row itself seem to be egging her on...

Thats a signifigant amount of bitterness towards Danica Patrick!
I watched Danica in some Formula Atlantic races. She put some moves on people that were of the, "I can't do that; how can she do that?" variety. Helluva good little shoe, she definitely is.
Her temper is no worse than AJ's. It just a good thing she's not as big as AJ. I'm not sure Briscoe would have showed up for Milwaukee, LOL.
I can sure sympathize with her, though. I got knocked out of a couple of races by guys doing stoopid. It's bad enough when you take yourself out, but to have some fool clobber you when you're minding your own business is a real bummer...
