How about Danica & Milka in The Octagon?

Normally I write about women beating each other up in MMA fights or pretending to beat each other up in joshi puroresu. I have also occasionally written about auto racing. Today I'm going to combine the two because Indy Racing League star Danica Patrick had a heated confrontation with Venezuelan driver Milka Duno after an practice altercation yesterday preparing for today's IRL race at Mid Ohio. Most of you should be familiar with Danica but who is Milka Duno? She drives in the IRL for Dreyer & Reinbolt Racing. The car is sponsored by Citgo. I don't if she's a poor driver or the car is poor. She runs in the back and is simply much slower than everyone else. And that was the problem with Danica yesterday. Danica was trying to pass the much slower Milka and Milka kept blocking her.











After practice, Danica decided to go to Milka Duno's pit to ask her if she saw her on the track. We've seen Danica's temper before especially last year at Milwaukee when Dan Wheldon crashed her. Milka's response was to throw a towel at Danica. Fortunately, somebody brought a video camera and the footage was posted on the IRL website. So I have included video of ESPN's report on the incident including the practice footage in question and the spat itself. I can understand why Danica was annoyed. Milka Duno's blocking during practice was way out of line. But she probably should have asked her boss Michael Andretti to talk to the team instead of going there herself. I think if they want to settle this properly, they should go into The Octogon and have a real grudge match. I'm just kidding but it sure would make a lot of money on PPV.
