Danica Patrick Takes Checkered Flag
She won!
Do you know what it’s like when you’ve been dating someone a while and everyone asks, “When are you gonna get married?”
Do you remember how sick you got of it? Now imagine getting asked that 20 times a day, for three years. On top of that, add the pressure of not just future in-laws and total strangers asking, but also getting asked by the people you have to answer to and compete against, like automotive racing-team owners and pit crews. Now, you might have an inkling of what it’s been like to be Danica Patrick.
Starting today, Danica will no longer have to answer the racing world’s equivalent to, “When are you gonna get married?” She won her first race Sunday just outside of Tokyo at the Japan 300. She is the first female winner in IndyCar history. We are so proud, and Danica no longer has to hear that question or shoulder and burdens about her gender’s ability to win races.
So now I wonder what the racing world’s equivalent to “When are you gonna have kids?” is?
