Will Danica Win The Indy 500?
By: SCUBA
Will Danica Patrick win her first Indy 500? Will Tony Kanaan?
I am not even going to pretend like I know anything about racing or
Tony Kanaan. I don't even know who Kanaan is, I've heard the name but
couldn't tell you anything about the guy.
However, I do know who Danica Patrick is, and I have to admit she makes
the Indy 500 more intriguing for someone like me. I don't know a lot
about her racing background but I feel compelled to root for her to
win. Maybe it's because she is so young, maybe it's because she is a
woman, but either way she is the underdog. That is why I pull for her.
She is coming off the heels of her first win last month with the Japan
300 and hopes to continue that into today's Indianpolis 500.
I have maybe watched parts of 3 Indianapolis 500's in my life. So, I
can't even begin to comment on anything knowledgable about the race,
the competitors, strategies, or even racing lingo. All I know is Danica
Patrick, much like Tiger Woods, has brought more media and more
attention to their sport. And I am one of those 'bandwagon' jumpers.
She, like Tiger makes a relatively boring event/sport more watchable.
That is why, I hope she wins or even finishes in the top 3, I want more
of a reason to become a fan.
As of the time of the blog she is currently running 9th....
