Danica's tantrum was pretty damn funny, mainly because she's so tiny - is she going to beat up Bricoe's kid or something? I gotta respect that attitude, though. Yes, those cars are fast -- frighteningly so. I do love watching it. Yes, that whole green deal is hilarious for something devoted to going 225 mph.

You had to love the whole "green" think with sponsorship by Mr. Ethanol. Nothing greener than auto racing. Cognitive dissonance reigns supreme. Can anyone seriously doubt that "green" is little more than the latest marketing gimmick? Danica is like Tiger Woods, except she's only won once. But everything revolves around Danica/Tiger no matter what everyone else is doing. You had to love Danica's veiled threat to go kick some ass in the pits when they interviewed her after the race. Still, covering a 2.5 mile circuit every 40 seconds with your butt a few inches off the ground is some scary stuff.
