CES 2008: Danica Patrick hearts Autoblog
Well, sorta. The not-at-all unattractive Indy Car driver is at CES with one of her sponsors, GoDaddy. We figured Indy Cars are fully within our beat and raced over to get a couple of shots of Ms. Patrick.
And, whatdya know? Once she saw the Autoblog press badge she went nuts, grabbed a t-shirt and a Sharpie and went to town. We were able to stop her before covering the t-shirt in loving missives expressing her adoration of Autoblog, and refused to give her our autographs, too. We just can't go handing those out to everyone ya know.OK, truth. She grudgingly signed our shirt after about a gazillion others and then even more grudgingly did the Autoblog thing. But the not-at-all unattractive bit is true.

So how are you guys planning on having a contest to give this away?
You are going to give it to a lucky Autoblog reader, right?

Maybe it will be worth more than the cost of the T-shirt after she wins a race. I figure John Neff & Co are waiting for that golden moment to give away the shirt.

Might want to put it in a ziplock bag with mothballs, it's gonna be a while if they wait for her to win a race.

She looks mega pissed in the second pic but then again she looks like that in alot of her candid shots. I've heard from a few people that she is far from friendly when approached.

Funny, you would think being a marketing shill is the favorite part of every race car drivers job.

Um if any law enforcement officials are reading this...you may want to check out Jonathon before he's wearing Danica Patrick...

Who cares about her? Omg, a woman that can drive without crashing every two seconds. Well, it IS impressive, but still, she's not even pretty.

THAT'S BECAUSE you have all you taste in your ass! when was the last time you went around a 21/2 mile almost flat rack at better than 250mph on the straight aways and competed with the worlds best drivers for a spot in their get togethers? she is welcome to all functions and I look for her to sign with Evernham racing for the 2009 NASCAR season!

She looks like a little Lohan in the main pic.

She certainly looks better than that shiny piece of crap she's standing in front of.

while I think the bike is damn ugly, I do think it's quite cool, specially for a Theme Bike from OCC for GoDaddy.... go figure.

Danica is very friendly if approached in the right way. It's kind of hard to understand what it's like to be hounded and critiqued on everything unless its happened to you.
