i hear the new swedish chick is pretty good though.. at least from what i read on her in automobile magazine.. unlike Patrick she actually knows shit about cars, etc. They refer to her as the "anti-patrick".. and mention that despite gender she is just a damn good driver:

I don't watch indycar or any car racing anymore as i lost interest.. motorcycle racing is so much better.. but the whole Patrick thing is a desperate attempt by the indycar league to make a come back.. they are dying a slow death.. and it thoroughly pisses me off when someone like Patrick is handed the keys to the kingdom, all hyped up, etc. and doesn't know a fucking thing about racing or cars or even make an attempt to learn.. most everyday people would give anything to have a chance like that to race on a professional level (or whatever the activity is - golf, soccer, football, hockey, water polo, etc.)
