Danicle and the AP

[rabbit]

Out of curiosity, I did a quick check of the AP photo wire, doing a search of the last 24 hours for photos with "Daytona" in the description. Here are the subjects of those photos and how many they appeared in:

Danica Patrick - 7
Crash photos - 5
Rusty Wallace - 3 (2 of those 3 were photos w/ Danica)
Casey Mears, misc. crew members - 2
Dan Wheldon, unidentified, Darren Law, Tony Stewart, Boris Said (w/Danica), Butch Leitzinger, Paul Tracy, Michael Valiente, race start, Adrian Fernandez and Milka Duno - 1

Poor Wheldon.
Overlooked at Indy because of the 4th place finisher.

Overlooked for the IRL championship because of the ROY.

and now,

Wins the 24hr at Daytona and is overlooked for the over-hyped girl driving with Rusty but whose car blew up.

:laugh:

But all us informed race fans know he just pulled off "The Triple!" :rofl:
