After a bump with Ryan Truex at the Scotts EZ Seed 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway led to a vehicle-to-wall rendezvous, NASCAR spokesdriver Danica Patrick worked up some foul words and made her objections visibly known when she exited her ride. More »

Helio Castroneves won the pole for next Sunday's Indy 500. But the real story out of qualifying yesterday was Danica getting lustily booed by the crowd. Let's posit some explanations. More »

Odd headline from the front page of the Orlando Sentinel sports section: "Danica Patrick won't toot your flute or mess up her lipstick." Very 1950s, in both sexism and euphemism. [Orlando Sentinel] More »

When ESPN The Laddie Mag's Body Issue was announced, tWWL was assertive about not becoming Playboy, a magazine for which Danica Patrick has not posed nude. The Body Issue may — or may not! — distinguish itself in that way. More »

]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5150402&view=rss&microfeed=true I was ready to move on from this particular story thinking there was no footage of this argument, and eventually concluding it was a lame altercation to begin with. But as the FanIQ headline says, "It's Just as Awesome as We Thought." Crystal clear audio. A towel snap. And a predominantly male pit crew doing absolutely nothing to stop the escalation. God bless America. More »

If the concept of Ohio depresses you, at least the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Youngstown, and Toledo all lie on or near the state border, opening up hopes and promises of other states. But Mid-Ohio? That's a lot of driving to exit the state, and driving in rural Ohio is a good way to lose one's mind. Racing in Mid-Ohio can't be much more exciting, given that I'm sure state troopers patrol the speedway to make sure you don't go over 65. More »

Scott Dixon, seen here winning an unrelated reace, is your 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner. This makes it 39 years that the prestigious Brickyard race hasn't been won by either a woman or an Andretti. The New Zealander won his first 500 the year after he lost the IRL championship on the last lap of the last race. Redemption! I guess. More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=393179&view=rss&microfeed=true Quite a messy day of Indy 500 practice yesterday, with Danica Patrick's car clipping Dale Coyne Racing crewman Charles Buckman and sending him to the hospital with a concussion. Meanwhile, rookie driver Alex Lloyd hit a wall at 223 mph during a practice run and Mario Dominguez got in a minor wreck tapping the inside wall of the warm-up lane. Also, my Micro Machines sets continue to collect dust at my parents' house. A sad day for racing all around. More »

Danica Patrick, known to many sports fans as "the woman who is competent enough to be taken seriously and attractive enough to be overrated," finally won a race this weekend. Some have been mocking the achievement, but we dunno, we think it's impressive. It's hard to win races, you know? More »

It feels like it took longer than Phil Mickelson's first major, but the petite open-wheeled racer finally reached the checkered flag before a bunch of chauvinistic war-starting toilet-seat-leaving-up booze-crazed horndogs in Japan this weekend, becoming the first female to win a major auto racing event.

It's Memorial Day weekend, so that means it's time for the Indianapolis 500, which isn't as cool as it used to be, though it helps to have attractive women racing. Growing up where we did, the Indy 500 was pretty much the most awesomest thing on earth when we were a kid, so we're glad to see it coming back. More »

Until about a week ago, you'd probably never heard of Bernie Ecclestone. This is because you're probably an American, and you don't pay any attention to Formula One Racing, the organization Ecclestone is the president and CEO of. A friend of ours who knows Formula One much better than we do says Ecclestone is beloved by F1 fans, because he's smart, quirky and loves to make strange jokes that no one outside racing gets. More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=109160&view=rss&microfeed=true We find it encouraging that a female athlete could be a part of a bidding war — and Playboy isn't involved at all. Word has started to rumble (can word "rumble?") that Nascar could make a play for young Danica. She'd certainly have to sing at Wrigley "Stadium" better than Jeff Gordon did. More »

Last week, before the Indianapolis 500, Nascar dolt Robby Gordon said it was unfair that Danica Patrick was so light, saying she had a natural advantage for speed, being so spindly. We found this amusing, because once we find the one advantage women have over men in the world of sports, some idiot guy starts complaining about it. More »

Like a lot of people, we were on the couch Sunday, cheering on Danica Patrick — and, perhaps even more so, David Letterman — at the Indianapolis 500. A friend of ours was asking us the other day, perplexed, whether or not we found Danica Patrick physically attractive; we said that he was wrong to even ask such a question, that it was offensive, and that yes, we thought so. (He said he couldn't decide.) More »

Like any right-minded American male between the ages of 24 and 54, we grew up loving David Letterman. And native Indianaian Letterman grew up loving the Indianapolis 500, culminating in his co-ownership of the Bobby Rahul Racing Team, which employs hot commodity Danica Patrick in this weekend's race. In a wide-ranging interview with USA Today, Dave, as tends to be the case when he talks race cars, isn't funny, but, unusual for him, he wears his heart on his sleeve. More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=108847&view=rss&microfeed=true The Indianapolis 500, the car race whose decline from prominence has officially eradicated the only reason to ever step foot in Indiana, is two weeks away, but qualifying was yesterday, handing race organizers the only publicity angle they ever have (save for tires flying into the stands): Chick Drivers! Danica Patrick, a 23-year-old rookie, finished fourth in qualifying yesterday and will start on the second row. Patrick is not new to the circuit and apparently is the leading candidate for the circuit's rookie of the year, and she seems consistently annoyed by all the attention. Sex appeal might not be her best allure, though; she looks kind of like a longer-maned Lynndie England. Though everybody looks pretty much the same when wearing a helmet (and slamming into a wall at 240 mph). More »
