I'm glad she won. She's been in this funk for the past 3 seasons...i'm glad she finally made it.
For us Indy fans, this should bring some much needed attention to the sport. The fact that she won in Japan now brings her win into the International spotlight.

I thought this picture was funny:
Talk about trophy envy...
It was indeed a legitimate win, good for her and for the sport. Race driving is primarily about consistent performance though, winning one race won't get her very far so it'll be interesting to see where she goes from here.

100% ..... Sometimes athletes win once and that affects them mentally on a positive way (+ they get a bit more respect on the field) this can be a turning point on her career, she can definitely keep up on the front of the pack and she has tougher skin now with the boys (experience) ... so yeah, let's see, i wish her the best ..... in the end it's all good ..

Danica Patrick, 26, in her #7 Motorola car, became the first female winner of an IndyCar race yesterday by winning the Bridgestone Indy Japan 300 race in Montegi, Japan. Due to forced fuel stops by the front runners, Patrick took the lead with only five laps remaining.
Patrick has been racing IndyCar for four seasons. Her previous brush with greatness came at the 2005 Indy 500 when she narrowly missed pole position and became the first female driver to lead the race ultimately finishing fourth. As a result, Patrick won rookie of the year award.
Meanwhile, one of Patrick's sponsors, AirTran, is taking advantage of the following media frenzy by preparing overnight a commemorative aircraft livery with Danica's larger than life photo along the fuselage of the Boeing 717-200 aircraft. Dubbed
