Lady First

I was disappointed to see Danica Patrick , who finished fourth in the Indy 500, on the cover of SI (June 6). Why wasn't Dan Wheldon of the Andretti Green team, who actually won the race, on the cover? I know the Indy Racing League is seeking new fans, but come on, the winner of the race should get the main recognition.

While I typically couldn't be less interested in auto racing, I was delighted to see Patrick on your cover, but I'll bet Wheldon was not.

It sure is appropriate that one of the sponsors featured on Patrick's racing jacket is Pioneer.

When Patrick wins her first IRL race, will Wheldon be on the cover?

Annika Sorenstam is the only reason I remember that Kenny Perry won the 2003 Colonial. Patrick is the only reason I'll remember Wheldon won this year's Indianapolis 500.
