Danica drama good for IRL

Any publicity is good publicity. That's the approach IRL is taking with the latest Danica news. Once again Danica Patrick stole the show with her off-track antics instead of her performance behind the wheel. In a league starving for a bigger piece the NASCAR-dominated auto racing pie, any type of publicity is good. And Danica keeps delivering. On Saturday, FHM fav Danica Patrick confronted Milka Duno about her driving at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, leading to an exchange between the only two female drivers competing in the IndyCar Series. Luckily for the IRL, a video of the incident was shot and was quickly plastered all over the internet.

During the altercation, Duno told Patrick on several occasions to “go away.” When Patrick didn’t leave immediately, Duno threw a towel in Patrick’s face, prompting Patrick to direct foul language at Duno before the minute-long incident ended. Add this to the list of Danica-isms of recent past... video of her charging down pit road during the Indianapolis 500, attempting to confront Briscoe after a pit road mishap and images of her grabbing and shoving Dan Wheldon last year in Milwaukee after an on-track incident. Her antics along with her scantily-clad pictorials have done more for IRL than ever before.

Bet IRL can't wait for what's next.
