Danica Patrick was a bit shaken up after her first Indianapolis 500 pole day qualifying attempt on Saturday, and it all started with a shaky car.
“This is the worst car I’ve ever had,” she said. “There’s no stability or grip. It’s just scary, really scary … It’s awful, really awful. I think I’m still shaking.
“I wasn’t flat out the last two laps and I was scared to death flat
on the first two,” she added. “I’ve never been bad here before. I’ve never been
outside the top 10 on a finish or qualifying, so, it’s not my fault.
The car is not good.”
Her crew members weren’t the only ones likely upset with the driver as fans booed her when the interview was played over the track PA. She will start in the middle of the eighth row next weekend.
