Fans line up for Danica Patrick in Indy

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Danicamania has returned to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

A week after fans booed the popular driver, track security had to turn folks away from a Danica Patrick autograph session at the track Saturday.

Fans turned on Patrick after she blamed a poor qualifying run on her crew and the car’s setup during an interview that was broadcast over the track’s public address system.

On Saturday, however, there were plenty of fans who wanted a chance to meet her. She had one of the longest lines, rivaled only by defending Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves. In fact, lines for the two most popular IndyCar drivers were so long that security cut them off well before the autograph session’s 9 a.m. start time.

And when Patrick was introduced during the drivers’ meeting, the cheers for her were among the loudest.

He is the only driver to win the Indianapolis 500 (which he won four times), the Daytona 500, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. (From Wikipedia)

My husband’s grandmother used to live within walking distance of the track and attended the race for probably 30 years. I got to go a few times and fell in love with the Indy 500 the first time I witnessed (felt) it in person!
