IRL's Milka Duno moves past spat with Danica Patrick

Some have called it the best catfight in motor sports history, others 'Girls Gone Wild in the Indy Racing League.' Milka Duno, the personable 36-year-old Venezuelan driver, would like to forget her part in it, move on with her career and get to the checkered flag Sunday in the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix without incident. However, when you snap a towel not once but twice in the face of Danica Patrick, you gain instant notoriety -- like it or not -- plus celebrity status on YouTube. The Duno-Patrick spat occurred during the IndyCar Series stop at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on July 19, when Patrick marched over to Duno's pit box to complain to her and Dreyer & Reinbold crew members that Duno was too slow on the course and blocking faster drivers like herself during practice for the Honda Indy 200. Patrick, who has a history of confronting fellow competitors, shouted at Duno and anyone in the area: '(You've) got no idea what you're doing out there.' When Duno, a former naval engineer and part-time model and actress ('Speed Racer'), shooed away Patrick from the pit wall with a towel, the Andretti Green Racing star seemed stunned. 'What the hell?' Patrick exclaimed. 'You're slow -- you're giving everybody a hard time out there.'
