danica patrick makes a fool of helio castroneves

Funny picture of the week. Danica Patrick stands by her first place trophy as second place finisher, Helio Castroneves, flaunts his business. Patrick won the Indy Japan 300 auto race on Sunday.

Patrick joins other women race car drivers who have won major races:

*Pat Moss-Carlsson who won the Liege-Rome-Liege rally in 1960.

*Michèle Mouton, won the SanRemo World Rally Championship in 1981 and after wins in Portugal, Brazil and Acropolis in 1982 very nearly won the World Championship. She was also the first woman to win the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb race in the US.

*Jutta Kleinschmidt won the Paris-Dakar rallye in 2001.

*Then there's superwoman Shirley Muldowney who won the NHRA Top Fuel championship in 1977, 1980 and 1982. Muldowney was also a featured singer in L7's (an all-female punk band) track titled Shirley, on their album, Hungry for Stink.
