I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that Danica seems to do this for PR only, her “woe is me quote about being “popular” or the piss poor writing style of this Associated Press piece:

Danica Patrick’s now famous temper has flared once again. And this time, it led to a PG-rated version of “Girls Gone Wild” in the pits during a practice session for the Honda Indy 200.

For the second time this season, Patrick was angered by a competitor and she decided to take out her aggression by going over to her opponent’s pit area for a confrontation.

Danica Patrick vs Milka Duno

This time, the object of her ire was the other female driver in the IndyCar Series, Milka Duno.

According to a report on The Indianapolis Star’s Web site, Patrick marched over to the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing pit stall after the conclusion of Saturday’s morning practice at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course to complain about Duno’s driving. The Andretti-Green Racing driver was upset that Duno did not allow faster cars, notably Patrick’s No. 7 Motorola Dallara Honda, to pass her during the practice session.

Unlike the last time Patrick went to a competitor’s stall during the Indianapolis 500, she was not stopped by anybody — leading to a testy engage between the two women.

Video shows Duno telling Patrick to “go away” numerous times before the Venezuelan snapped a towel at Danica’s face twice, leading to foul language before the minute-long incident concluded.

“Unfortunately, things involving me tend to evolve,” Patrick said in the report. “I’m on the hot seat when I do something and when others do something (connected to me). It’s kind of the line that I walk because I’m popular.”
