Hooray for our side!  Danica is from Roscoe, IL about a half dozen miles from 
Blackhawk Farms raceway where Bob Wismer was racing his S2000 yesterday.  I 
crewed for him, and heard about Danica's win on the way to the track early 
Sunday morning.  I can remember seeing her doing laps at BLACKHAWK years ago.  
Even then you could see she was special.  I wish the media would concentrate more 
on her fine driving and less on the fact that she's cute.  Some good Janet 
Guthrie quotes in USA TODAY this morning.  Janet Guthrie stopped by our paddock 
at Road America the year before last.  Another great female driver, who in all 
probability would have beat Danica to that first WIN had she ever had top 
shelf equipment.  Her book is great, if you have not read it.
