Dave: I don’t think the Kournikova analogy works — from the start Kournikova was more Paris Hilton than Serena Williams. She was content to be a princess rather than a serious competitor. Say what you will about Patrick, but she runs with big boys. Can you imagine how she’d dominate a woman’s racing circuit, if there were such a thing? Yesterday’s race was a crap shoot in the rain; she did fine. If not for a late pit stop she could have finished much closer to first. One thing she didn’t do is make mistakes, such as the huge error at the end of the race by hotshot Marco Andretti, which could have ended a lot worse. From what I heard, Patrick was the fans’ favorite to finish first. Hillary should have such charisma.
