More coverage of Danica Patrick and her rookie IRL season by New York Times writer Dave Caldwell.
One Thing Missing From Patrick's Season: A Victory
By DAVE CALDWELL
Published: July 13, 2005
Danica Patrick's first season in the Indy Racing League has been a blur of accomplishments: a front-row start and fourth-place finish in Japan, then a heady and historic run in the Indianapolis 500, then her first pole position 10 days ago.
What Patrick has not done, at least not yet, is win. The Firestone Indy 200 on Saturday in Nashville will be only her ninth race in the top open-wheel series, but Patrick has driven the expectations so high that another loss might look like the start of a slump.
