We can’t decide whether showing a video of Danica Patrick throwing a hissy fit after running out of gas with two laps to go is contributing to the ridiculous Danica Patrick hype or not. But it’s a fairly amusing video. As the folks over at Fark pointed out, she looks exactly like Dark Helmet in Spaceballs.
“Hey Danica, don’t tear down the cones, baby.”
Now, to be fair, a lot of racers are know for getting all mad and stuff when they lose a race so it’s not just because it’s “that time of the month“. What is it about non-athletic “sports” that cause their competitors to act more frustrated about losses than real athletes? Check out the WSOP sometime if you want to see a bunch of drama queens.
