Danica gets the Last Laugh!

Aren’t you that silly Blogger who calls ME DannaWho?

OH MY GAWD!

NEVER in a MILLION years did I expect this to happen; CRIKEYS!!! WTF? As Dave “CARPETS” O’Brien and I went to the J.W. Marriot in Downtown Indianapolis to attempt checking out ALL 33 Indy 500 drivers & their BETTER Half’s on the Red Carpet with a very small gathering of Paparazzi... As ‘CARPETS asked after we’d gone thru the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) Hall of Fame museum if I wanted to head downtown to see if we could spot any IndyCar drivers Pre Monday evening's (5/30/11) annual Indy 500 Awards Banquet.

And after having stood on the sidewalk curb 15-20mins watching the celebrities roll-in, ‘CARPETS asked: Do you wanna try walking up to the door? At first being told by the senior Valet: ONLY A FEW MOMENTS GUYS...

Then the Camera crew asked us to take a few steps backwards please – in order to make way for ‘Daniker... And whilst I just stood there transfixed – trying to be totally OBLIVIOUS to who’s ‘Dat? Dave: “DAVE’S NOT HERE! Struck up a casual conversation with a very spelt young Sharp Dressed Man who himself coulda passed for a Racing Driver/Marathon runner/Athlete – with ‘CARPETS casually saying how they’d had a tough month of May...

 Then before I was aware of what was happening – Dave MASSIVELY Set-me-up by asking Princess Perma Pout's companion if he could get a picture with Tomaso? To which an overly congenial/positive polar OPPOSITE Ye Danica, nee Mr. Paul Hospenthal? (Danica’s husband – originally from NONE-other then Tacoma, WA...) said: Sure, I can make that happen...

HOLY FREAKIN DANNASTARZ BATMAN!!!

As this pic was snapped just after Danicker's umpteenth TV interview... This time for a local Indianapolis television crew Pre-live Indy 500 Awards banquet broadcast – around 5:30PM... (And NO Danny! It was NOT PhotoShopped! As that’s the exact bright blue dress she was wearing upon receiving her 10^th place finish check Monday night...)

As Danica turned ‘round to proceed into the banquet, she was stopped by Paul, turned to me very quizzically and said a very curt DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER PUTTING YOUR FREAKIN’ ARM AROUND ME LOSER! Hiiii?!: To which I simply replied Hello before Danicker quickly stormed off to the “safer” confines of the banquet.

 And That’s The Way It Happened Folks...

SPEED FREAKS: Danica Patrick interview

QUESTIONE

So if Daniker runs off to NUTCAR as expected next year and INDYCAR continues to host that OVERHYPED $5m World Finale in Los Wages next year. And if DannaWho does run the Indy 500 in 2012 as a “One-off;” then wouldn’t she be eligible as a NON-Indy Car Series regular to compete as one of the Big 5 Starz – as Inquiring Minds wanna Know, right?

Ode to DannaCar...
