Patrick breaks onto new frontier: The Swimsuit Issue

I guess I could have used the corny pun "brakes" instead, eh?

Ah well...anyhoo,,Danica Patrick has been a ground breaker in so many aspects and has put a great marketing face onto IRL, even if her actual success as a driver has been pretty minimal at best. Sure, she brings in tickets, but so did Anna Kournikova for what seemed like forever, even though she almost never won any tournaments.

Now, Patrick will go onto a new frontier--the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Some will argue that this is not the right thing to do--that it further exploits the female sex and especially furthers the gap in terms of respect that should be given on the racing side of things; it IS in fact the Indy Racing League, and while I agree to strike while the iron is hot, her basically separating herself from every one else is really not good for the sport at all--it's kind of a double edged sword.

Still, you have got to give credit where credit is due. She is a beautiful woman and deserves to be in such a prestigious issue.
