Danica Patrick in NASCAR?

NASCAR is racing in the USA. There isn't anything else as far as many Americans think or know. Even sports editors don't know the difference. This great picture of Danica Patrick in Sports Illustrated has a file name of NASCAR.jpg, which just goes to show that someone at Sports Illustrated thinks she drives in NASCAR and so named the photo. Tell us one more time why we needed to create the IRL, split the sport of Indy Car Racing, and kill it?
