Danica Patrick led 26 laps at the NAPA Auto Parts 200 (NAPA Know How, NAPA Know How) on Saturday but her strong performance fell apart when she hit a shoe on the racetrack. If I was Danica I would’ve went into the crowd and found the only person with one shoe on, and punch them square in the face.
The shoe did enough damage to Patrick’s car and steering that ESPN’s Live...

Danica Patrick led Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series race in Montreal for about 20 laps until she ran over a shoe that was thrown onto the race track.
Danica ran right over the shoe, which seemed harmless enough, until she started having issues with her track bar and had to make an extra stop in the pits so her crew could make adjustments.

Danica Patrick hit an unlikely speed bump Saturday. Patrick was in the lead at Montreal when a spectator decided to toss a sneaker onto the track. It landed right in the path of the oncoming cars, and Patrick ran right over the lost shoe, sending it flying into the air. Now, one would think a sneaker wouldn't do too much damage. Patrick found out just how volatile a shoe on the...

Maybe Danica Patrick needs to adjust her restrictor plate.
The stock-car queen lost her cool during a heated moment of the Nationwide race in Montreal on Saturday -- and her four-letter faux pas was broadcast over national TV.
Patrick, who took the lead under an opportune caution and stayed out front for 20 laps, ran over a shoe that was either thrown or dropped from a pedestrian...

On Saturday, Danica Patrick was in the lead in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race in Montreal until she ran over a shoe that someone threw onto the racetrack. That led to some steering problems that caused Danica to drop the F-bomb as she was communicating the issue to her pit crew.
As luck would have it, ESPN happened to be airing the audio of Danica's communication live...

Poor, Craig Ochoa. The guy keeps getting these high-profile games because he’s the NFL’s top replacement ref, and the gaffes just keep coming. Here’s Craig last night during the Steelers-Colts game making a call to the wrong press box. Luck threw 2 INTs in the 26-24 loss (Peyton also had 2 INTs this week). As for Tebow’s week against the Giants: 5-of-14, 69 yards and 4 sacks...
