The win, 5.8594 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Helio Castroneves on the 1.5-mile Twin Ring Motegi oval occurring after leader Scott Dixon pitted with five laps left and Dan Wheldon and Tony Kanaan came in a lap later, makes Patrick the first woman to ever win an IndyCar race. Finally, people will be forced to look at Danica Patrick&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;as something other than a piece of meat. Well, she did do that\u00a0Sports Illustrated\u00a0photo shoot, so you can probably still look at her like a piece of meat \u2014 just now you&#8217;ll also have to realize she&#8217;s a piece of meat that&#8217;s faster than you, Helio Castroneves, Scott Dixon, Dan Wheldon, Tony Kanaan and your brother Sal.
