For the Record: Danica Patrick a Sure Thing

I don't like to get off point since this is a Red Sox blog but if one sport needs a hero right now more than anything it is the IRL and that would be hero is Danica Patrick. Remember growing up when the INDY 500 actually meant something? Well it hasn't meant shit for a long time. Ever since CART and IRL went their separate ways 8 years ago, the Indy 500 lost all of it's' luster and commercial appeal. What was once a race that would make the Daytona 500 look like a spring training game is now nothing more than a 20 second Sports Center highlight halfway through the broadcast. This Sunday that will all change for one day, if Danica wins the race it may change for many years to come. Danica Patrick is the first IRL driver male or female that has ever been mentioned on CNN. The people at IRL can't buy that kind of press because if they could they would be buying it in bulk. Don't be surprised to see Danica win on Sunday, letting Danica win is the smartest thing for the sport, and will probably happen if it is at all remotely possible. Not unlike giving Little E a gift wrapped first NASCAR victory after his father's untimely death. It is something NASCAR needed, and Patrick winning this Sunday is what the IRL needs now more than ever.
