This time last year, during the run up to the Indy 500, you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting media coverage of Danica Patrick. Patrick, you may remember, is more than just an up and coming racer with great potential. Patrick's a girl, and a fairly good lookin' one at that. As a result of that combination of talent and marketability, Patrick is by far and away the most visible competitor in the Indy Racing League. But there's one problem - she still hasn't delivered the goods on track. In fact, since her 4th place finish at Indy last year as a rookie, she's not matched that finish in other IRL races. Today's New York Times has an article questioning whether the honeymoon is over for Patrick as long as her performance doesn't match the hype.
