Sixth place for Patrick

Danica Patrick raced and came in sixth yesterday at the Chicagoland Speedway. Greg Couch of the Sun Times takes on "Danica mania" in his column "Danica still learning, rest of us yearning" where he complains about the media attention Patrick gets even when she loses, but also stresses she's a rookie who's going to make mistakes - there is too much hype on her needing to win.

Before Sunday's race, the San Jose Mercury News had a profile on Patrick's upbringing/family  - "Danica Patrick's parents never set out to rear a race car driver"
