Danica Patrick has a message for Ryan Briscoe: Congratulations on your first Indy Car Series victory.
Yes, she congratulated the driver who slammed into her car on pit row at the Indianapolis 500, a collision that knocked her out with 30 laps to go.
“You know what, I’m happy that he got his win,” Patrick said, a day after Briscoe won at the Milwaukee Mile. “He deserves a big congratulation. He was behind me at the beginning of the race at one point. ... He obviously had a good car. He was driving around people like they were sitting still sometimes.”
The win at Milwaukee came a week after Indianapolis, where Briscoe spun his tires and slammed into her car coming out of his pit.
“We don’t agree on what happened,” Patrick said Monday. “That’s the past, this is now. I will race him fair every lap of my career because that’s the type of driver I am, and I expect the same in return.”
