Does Danica Patrick have an anger problem
Danica Patrick had to be escorted from the pit area at the Indy 500 today. She was shown the door by the head of security and a bouncer.
She was headed off to confront a fellow driver who she blamed for yet another incident in the pits that took her out of the race. This was the first time in four years that Danica was DNF at Indy which that in itself is a major accomplishment.
If you listened to the radio traffic during the race, Danica was really bitchy and you could almost forsee that she was going to have a problem as she was angry at the car and her crew and wanted them to "make the car go faster."
I believe in a previous pit incident, in another race, she ran over a crew members foot. She always seems to have pit problems and it appears she has anger problems also, in my opinion.
From the AP.
Kanaan was seething, but his display of anger was nothing compared to Patrick's after she was run into by Ryan Briscoe while trying to leave pit lane late in the race.
A furious Patrick then got out of her car and walked purposefully toward Briscoe's pit for what was shaping up as a confrontation with his crew. She removed her gloves and seemed ready to rumble before track security personnel directed her back to her own pit area.
"I was ready to take it all off, my helmet and everything — because it's hard to talk through the helmet," Patrick said. "It's probably a better idea that I didn't make it all the way down there anyway because, well, as you guys know, I'm a little emotional."
Patrick said she was waiting for Briscoe to come talk to her about the incident. After watching a replay, Briscoe seemed convinced that Patrick had plenty of room to move over and didn't seem willing to offer an apology.
Patrick's near-rumble was perhaps the race's most memorable moments, but it was hardly the only spectacle at Indy this year.

From SI
INDIANAPOLIS -- Danica Patrick received a double-dose of good news on Tuesday as she prepares for the 92nd Indianapolis 500 on May 25.
Chuck Buckman, the Indy 500 chief mechanic who was injured when Patrick's IndyCar hit him in pit lane during last Friday's practice session, was released from Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Buckman suffered a traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and a skull fracture, but has recovered to the point where he can continue convalescence at home. Buckman is the chief mechanic for Mario Moraes at Dale Coyne Racing.
Patrick, who became the first female driver ever to win a race in a major, closed-course racing series when she drove to victory at Twin Ring Motegi in Japan on April 20, has been absolved of any wrong doing for the pit lane incident.
Patrick was pulling her car into her pit area when Buckman walked in front of her car. The contact sent Buckman flying about four-feet into the air before landing on his face and head, which rendered him unconscious.
He was later revived and sent to the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital before he was moved to a private room on Sunday.
