Danica Patrick doesn't need to draw any more attention to herself heading into the Indianapolis 500 than she'll already have. Whether it's her fault or not, she's already a big hit during practice sessions. During Friday's practice runs, Patrick drilled Chuck Buckman, a crewman of Marco Andretti, and as you can see above it was quite a nasty blow.

DANICA PATRICK RAN SOMEONE OVER

Indy Car racing star Danica Patrick is a woman, and women are notoriously inattentive drivers.  That's what makes her hitting crew member Chuck Buckman on Friday afternoon during practice for the Indy 500 so hilarious.  She was probably using the rearview mirrow to check her lipstick!  Because women often do that, you see. Buckman stumbled and his left leg was clipped by her left front tire, knocking him in the air. His head then hit her rear tire before he hit the ground. Buckman suffered a concussion, scalp and facial abrasions but was awake and alert Friday night ...
