Dani Almost Did It!
I was in Roscoe, IL, today...watching the Indy 500 with folks in Danica Patrick's hometown...and reporting for ABC News Radio.
I'll tell you what...the crowd at Croc's Pub (where all but one of the bar's TVs had the race on - the other had the Cubs) was pretty darn fired up for Dani. I think every one in the bar thought she was gonna win it there for a bit.
As you might expect, they were excited...and very proud of her. Every one in Roscoe seems to know - or, at least, claims to know - Dani!
Great story in a tiny town no one - even most people in Illinois - had ever heard of before Danica Patrick came along!
