Danica Mania came alive in 2005, as Danica Patrick became the first woman to lead the Indianapolis 500. Although Patrick would end up finishing fourth in the Indy 500, she became an instant sports celebrity and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Some drivers complained that Danica was overhyped and her small size made it easier for her to race. But Danica also proved that a female can compete among the top racers in the world and she's expected to be a force on the racetrack in 2006.Related Stories:
