![Bugatti Bird-gate Followup: Driver identity revealed <b>[*UPDATE:</b> Now with actual crash video!]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bugatti-veyron-swim-1258147199_143x85.jpg)
VIDEO: Danica and Milka in trackside fight (towels were involved)
Click above to view video after the jump
An altercation between the two admittedly attractive female drivers in the IndyCar Series has all the makings for a sensational headline, and in this case Danica Patrick and Milka Duno backed it up by tangling in the pits last Saturday after a practice session for the Honda Indy 200. Patrick, as she has done twice before, walked all the way to her competitor's pit stall to address a grievance. She simply asked Dreyer & Reinbold Racing's driver, who looked like she just stepped out of a salon, if she had seen her on the track. Apparently Patrick was miffed that Milka wasn't letting faster cars like her No. 7 Motorola Dallara Honda pass during practice. Milka was having none of it and twice threw a towel at Patrick while telling her to "go away". Such is a pretty normal day in the IndyCar Series with Danica Patrick on the prowl. For the record, neither lady performed particularly well in the actual race on Sunday, with Milka finishing 23rd out of 26 and Danica placing 12th. Check out video of these brunettes battling after the jump. Thanks for the tip, Art!

Great video, but no b*tch slaps were thrown. The towel to the face is great, but it seemed very sanitized. I just saw this on ESPN and it's pretty entertaining to say the least. A little bit of hair pulling would have livened it up a bit!

What's "great" about it? Milka Donuts is slower than Marty Roth for Christ sake. Danica attempted to pass her THREE times at least in PRACTICE... not a RACE... PRACTICE.
Then Milka is the over animated b*tchy one? & throwing towels in Danica's face? She remained pretty calm. Notice she kept her hands folded in front of her the whole time.
IMO Danica has guts to go into her pit & talk things out while fresh. She didn't back down DESPITE the ever increasing wall of Citco uniforms blocking her from their babbling driver.

I haven't seen the race but it seems like Milka (Nestlé involved?) seems to know she screwed something.

I would have appreciated if one of them would have actually slapped the other. Lol.

This from SPEED's Robin Miller:
Patricks propensity to confront people rubs a lot of folks the wrong way, she did exactly what every driver in the paddock (except Mad Dog Marty Roth) wanted to do: tell the hopelessly slow and out-of-her-depth Duno to watch her mirrors or get off the track.
Shes got no business in an Indy car and we all know that, but when she finally hurts somebody because of her lack of ability and awareness, well then its too late, isnt it?

Is that towel on ebay yet? Seriously this was about the lamest thing I've ever seen out of the IndyCar traveling circus.

I'll grant Milka's attractiveness, but Danica? not even close.

Guess you like heavy plastic surgery, annoying accents & implants on your woman eh Stew???
I'll take Danica ANY DAY (natural & talented enough to be in her job for starters). I didn't see middle age Milka in SI

Jesus, Stewart...are you blind? Milka's busted. She looks like she took a set of brass knuckles to the nose -- seriously, worst nose job since Michael Jackson. That and she sucks at driving Indy. Sure...Danica's not good, by any means...but Milka sucks ass. Plastic surgery can't fix that.
geo.stewart 7:19PM (7/21/2008)
where does driving skill come into play for attractiveness. and Danica always looks like a petulant brat so yeah, I'll tend to prefer someone middle-aged over someone who thinks they are all that.
As I learned early, beauty is skin deep, ugly goes clear to the bone.
azzo45 8:21PM (7/21/2008)
Then you like ugly (fixed by plastic surgery) & naturally untalented race craft then eh Stewart? Fine.
I'm sure Danica will look much better when she approaches 40 (Milka has subtracted her birth year over the years) & she will have a few big league wins. When Danica moves to GA or ALMS... she will actually support her team mate in the talent pool. (Unlike Milka who NEEDED a MUCH faster team mate to score a "team" win).

Big deal. For once it was not Danica having the hissy fit, she actually came across mellow. Of course we may not have seen the passive agressive pestering that led to this snipet of hot lady racer quibling.

Can anyone tell me why Patrick is so famous? Every time I watch one of her races she either doesn't finish or finishes way below the top 5. Is it because she's female or something?

ahh yes it is because she is female or something and she has been marketed very well. Does not hurt that she looks good in magazines half neked. If she looked butch (think softball catcher) she would not be famous.

like Anna Kournikova! lmao

like a tennis "STAR" Anna Kournikova! LMAO
azzo45 3:10PM (7/21/2008)
Except the only thing Anna ever WON was 2nd rate singers & All Star NHL Hockey players...
... Danica won a race & has finished Top 10 in points every year since joining the IRL.

Danika shouldn't be crying over spilled Milka, she's better then that.
