MOTEGI, Japan — Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history Sunday, taking the Indy Japan 300 after the top contenders were forced to pit for fuel in the final laps.

Patrick finished 5.8594 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Helio Castroneves on the 1.5-mile Twin Ring Motegi oval after leader Scott Dixon pitted with five laps left and Dan Wheldon and Tony Kanaan came in a lap later.

"It's a long time coming. Finally," Patrick said. "It was a fuel strategy race, but my team called it perfectly for me. I knew I was on the same strategy as Helio and when I passed him for the lead, I couldn't believe it. This is fabulous."
 
Good for her and Indy. Perhaps she will have a better attitude now.

Doubt it. She was pretty bitter at Indy last year and made a stink about taking a picture with Bigs' daughter because she was only supposed to be taking pictures with Motorola people. :bored Racing is serious business, but if you get paid to drive really fast, you should be able to crack a smile.
 
does she get to kiss the trophy girl?
