Hollywood actress who makes a fast Scot very happy
Today’s Grid WAG is 40-year-old American beauty Ashley Judd, an actress who rarely takes a part in a film unless it involves gratuitous nudity. Her husband since 2001 has been Dario Franchitti, a racing driver who left sunny Scotland behind to pursue a career in the CART and IndyCar series. For his 2007 IndyCar series victory, he received the coveted BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year award, but probably only because he was up against the grumpiest man in the world, Andy Murray.
The lowdown: Danica Patrick wasn’t happy because slow-ass Duno blocked her in morning practice for last weekend’s Honda Indy 200 (won on Sunday by Ryan Briscoe, for the record - but who gives one about that, really).
Danica, being a feisty little thing, confronts Duno. Duno is from Venezuela (capital city: Feisty). Sparks - and towels - fly. Luckily, a camera was there to capture the catfight.
We aren’t cynical souls, but wouldn’t a bitter Patrick vs Duno rivalry be great for IndyCar ratings? Shame Duno is so damn slow.
