Patrick shows grit but falls short in Indy 500 race
Danica Patrick, 23, led 19 laps and finished fourth in the Indianapolis 500, the highest finish ever by a female driver. She overcame a rookie mistake and a late-race collision, staying on a risky fuel strategy that left her just short of victory as Dan Wheldon won with 10 laps to go. Patrick drew praise from David Letterman and drew media scrutiny for the groundbreaking run.
