Danica Patrick joins with P&G

Really now.  I know racing is hot. I'm no racing fan, but even I know that Danica Patrick is  "hot" in the  racing  circut thanks to her nearly won the Indy 500 this last year. (Who was #1? Who cares.) Adrants reports that Danica the Speedy has hooked up with a sponsorship deal with P&G so her car will now feature promient P&G girlie-product logos on the side of her cars.

It'll certainly make it easier to follow her on the track, "There's the baby blue Secret Deodorant car!", or the pink Vagisil car. (Okay, P&G doesn't make Vagisil, but you get the point).

One thing that bugs me is the picture to the right. We all get she's a girl, but what's with the pin up shots? If Jeff Gordon did a bikini brief lounge shot there'd be an uproar the likes of which you wouldn't believe from the very religious base of racing - but no all the men drivers stay in their puritan racing suits buttoned up to the neck.
