Patrick gone wild

More information is surfacing about Danica Patrick's plane ride from Japan to California following her victory at Motegi two weeks ago. The Indy Star's Curt Cavin first reported that Patrick hit the sake rather hard during the transcontinental flight. Cavin adds more to the story today, reporting that Patrick was joined on the (commercial) flight by Scott Dixon and Scott Wheldon -- and their spouses, all hoisting many a sake-bombs. This activity had to be halted by the stewardesses as too much fun was being imbibed. (Yes, like a sorority girl at TGI Friday's on her 21st, the finest in open wheel racing had to be cut-off.)

Has anyone ever been 86'ed from a plane?

Unfortunate headline

The IndyStar.com puts Danica Patrick's Japan victory in perspective with following headline-picture combo from a Curt Cavin article.

Danica Patrick's win 'going to be . . . remembered'
















Let us play count the Asians. I got 14.

Perhaps the headline should have read, Danica Patrick's win 'going to be... remembered' by a handful of locals and two dozen sad statesiders watching an obscure cable network late at night.

That's probably too lengthy, come to think of it.
