We don't know why CNN refers to Patrick as Danica but we assume it's because of Madonna and, after her, any woman smart enough to make a name for herself without prostituting herself on news channels must be known by her first name.
So, Danica Patrick deliberately crashed the car of Kenseth out of a short track NASCAR race on Sunday. She was fined, maybe, fifty grand and suspended for a few races.
Note: short-track racing isn't as dangerous as what they call the super speedways such as Talladega where they routinely drive over 200 mph.
We aren't terribly critical of Patrick for doing that because Kenseth did the same thing to her earlier in the same race and this was a payback. That fact notwithstanding, it's blatantly illegal and she got busted by NASCAR for it.
Kenseth had one seriously glory day as he had taken out Joey Logano earlier in the race and possibly destroyed for Logano what was a good chance at this year's title. Kenseth took a huge bust for that as he has been suspended for what may be the whole season. Just as with Patrick, he is thought to have been giving a Logano a payback for some transgression Kenseth believed he had committed against him.
Before you start waving your heads in the air in defense of NASCAR, know I have loved NASCAR for years. In our view, nothing symbolizes American racing better and many call them roundy-round cars but there is vastly more sophistication than that estimation of them. We're not going to try to explain that ... but ... if you understand what makes baseball exciting (we don't) then hopefully you can understand people see subtle complexities in NASCAR just as you see it in some coked-up cowboy waving a stick at a ball.
(Ed: they do more than that!)
Of course they do and that's the point ... it's the same thing with NASCAR because the real thing is vastly more than the crashes.
We're puzzled because Brad Keselowski was the NASCAR driver everyone loved to hate due to his crash other drivers way. We just checked to discover he has achieved fairly good NASCAR success and is now fielding two teams of drivers.
We did not see the race on Sunday but we do know some NASCAR fans may look at Sunday's race as a disingenuous attempt to push up NASCAR's ratings in the same way as the Kardashians make themselves seem interesting. We listen to that but really we don't pay any more attention to it than we (cough) pay to walking sofas like the Kardashians.
In general, it looks like maybe Kenseth had a bad day and was making bad decisions but we don't know that except he was involved both times.

I would write a response but due to the immense number of errors in both facts and logic. I cant as I dont have enough time.
You usually write intelligent articles with very in depth research.
This is a from the hip article
Sorry about that. I knew I was taking a chance on buying the read from the journo but I didn't add all that much to it. I'm surprised as it seemed straight-up. You know already I'm not trying to slam anyone and no need to dissect the article but I'll have to be more watchful for what really happened.
