Well, it seems that Danica flips out on someone after each race. Perhaps this is how she’s trying to build a fan base? She did the same thing after the Indy 500 when she was knocked out of the race. From what I’ve seen, her behaviour off of the track is immature and aggressive.

As far as handling it goes, isn’t that really up to the race officials? Seriously, I’m not too sure how that works – they have video footage of things now, can’t they intervene?

“How do my male readers think Danica and Milka should resolve this??”

By not racing anymore?

There are rules in racing about allowing lappers to pass. The drivers are not supposed to block those coming up behind trying to pass. It creates accident situations as 1) it jams the traffic up and 2) encourages extra difficult driving under conditions already exceptionally dangerous. When a driver sees someone coming up behind them, they are to give them reasonable room to pass on the outside. If they don’t, they can be forced to do so with a flag and if they still don’t, get black flagged right out of the race.

Dear Danica,

Your job is to get around the slower traffic. It would be nice if they got out of the way. But being nice never won a race.

The problem is that she has been criticized by her male counterparts just this season for being “difficult” to overtake when she is being lapped. I think this is a reflection of that.

With that said, I think Danica is starting to go off the rails. She seems to flip out fairly easily.

I’d like to see this problem resolved in a civilized way. By that, I mean naked mud wrestling. It could even be PPV.

The clip you show is better than what most bloggers have used; it’s clear here what Milka was doing wrong.

But, like Stew, I think the Miller video would be a good redo.

I think a re-enactment of the Miller Light “Cat Fight” video.
