VIDEO: Danica Patrick Booed At Indy 500 Qualifying!!

Danica Patrick had an uncharacteristically bad day at Indy 500 qualifying Saturday. She ended up qualifying 23rd and blamed it on her car’s setup, calling it “the worst car I have ever had”. The normally popular IndyCar driver got some grief from the fans in the form of boos when her comments were broadcast over the racetrack public address system.

Danica was holding back tears after the qualifying run where she averaged 224.217 mph on four laps in her only attempt, and remarked that adjustments on the car throughout the week were poor: “The car is just totally skating across the track, and there’s no grip. My mechanics took tons of time to make sure it was fast and slick and no drag. It’s there, it’s just that the setup’s not there. I feel bad for them because it’s a good car.”

Earning pole position is last year’s winner Helio Castroneves, who averaged 227.97 by topping 228 on two of his four laps. source
