Indy's in town, Danica gets all the attention

Quick: Who won the Indy 500 last year? Chances are you don’t know. That may sadden Indy racing League officials, but they still have no problem promoting Danica Patrick, who has one win in more than 50 career starts. Danica was at Times Square with all the other drivers for Sunday’s race. But she gets all the attention: even to the point of answering questions that she may leave Indy Racing for Formula One in Europe. Like Michelle Wie on the LPGA, let’s see Patrick prove she belongs behind the wheel of a race car first.

By the way, Dario Franchitti won last year’s race at the brickyard.
