Can’t win Danica has a hissy fit

DAN WHELDON: (About contact with Danica Patrick): "I don't know (what happened). I think she had a run on Dario, and I think she thought she was alongside me. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't. As she got out of it, I don't know what happened. She spun or dropped to the back. She's a little disgruntled, but as Brian Barnhart says, what goes around, comes around. She nearly put me in the pit wall at Indianapolis, and I certainly have no problems with anyone else on the track. She's probably feeling the pressure of not winning races when her teammates are. It's unfortunate for her."

(Did you know she was there): "I've been in this business long enough to know when someone is there and when somebody is not. Maybe it's a bit of inexperience there on her part. Certainly, everyone else that was alongside me got by, no problem. I thought it was a real clean race."

(What happened after the race?): "She's just feisty. There's a lot of pressure on her because she has not won a race, and her teammates are (winning). I think in a situation like that, sometimes you get desperate. It's never nice to come into contact with somebody."

(Did she shove you?): "She's just being Danica. She'll be fine when she calms down. She's messing with the wrong person if she wants to get feisty. I'm a lot tougher than she is on track."
