Someone Not Named Danica Wins Indy 500 [Indianapolis 500]

Translate Into:

Scott Dixon, seen here winning an unrelated reace, is your 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner. This makes it 39 years that the prestigious Brickyard race hasn't been won by either a woman or an Andretti. The New Zealander won his first 500 the year after he lost the IRL championship on the last lap of the last race. Redemption! I guess.

For the Danica Patrick fans out there, she got knocked out in a minor crash in pit row, when Ryan Briscoe tapped her backside a little too hard, causing her to spin and break her rear suspension. That's certainly no way to finish a race, or a date for that matter.

That's all until Tuesday. Enjoy your Memorial Day burger binge, everyone.
