There were four women IN last year's 500. Danica Patrick, Ana Beatriz, Pippa Mann and Simona de Silvestro. There have only been women in drag racing for what, 50 years now?

But Patrick gets all the attention. It's not because of her sponsorship. It has more to do with her looks, her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, etc. The GoDaddy sponsorship is because she gets so much attention.
