Question:

Danica Patrick Died?

by | earlier

My mom received a CNN news alert Email stating that Danica Patrick died today in a test race crash, but the link they sent her doesn't work and we can't find any proof anywhere on the net or on t.v. that this is true. I don't know what is going on, has anyone heard anything??

DANICA'S DENT: Danica Patrick could be racing in her backup car on Saturday after crashing during afternoon practice on Friday.

Patrick was entering the second turn when her car careened into the SAFER barrier on the 1.5-mile oval. She was unhurt, though the same couldn't be said for her Andretti Green Racing car, which had to be carried off the track on the back of a tow truck.

"All of a sudden the front end just started lightly sliding up the track, and I tried to turn and it wouldn't turn," Patrick said. "I wasn't able to put any steering in the front end of the car, so I don't know."

Patrick had been running well before the crash, posting the seventh-fastest lap in the session. It's not the first time she's had trouble in practice here. She collided with Vitor Meira while exiting the pits during practice before the 2006 race. She went on to finish eighth in that event.

I got the same email from CNN.... my husband told me that she doesnt race NASCAR she is INDY racer, so I think this is a hoax.. and a mean one.

It's not covered by any of the major news outlets yet, so the text was probably a hoax.

Until you see it on CNN or Fox, ignore it.

Danica is perfectly healthy, don't worry!

I've been getting spam e-mails from "CNN" as well. I didn't get the same one you did, but when I clicked mine it went to: http://omzgolitsino.ru/cnncurrent.html.

The site warned me: "Web forgeries are designed to trick you into revealing personal or financial information by imitating sources you may trust.

You might want to get a better spam filter. I use Gmail and it filtered these e-mails.

I received this email from "CNN" also. Seems like it is a scam. Was rather alarmed at the news but checked many other sources and none are confirming this so-called news. Sorry some of the computer trolls and gatekeepers felt they had to trounce on you--they are in the wrong, not you. It seemed very legit at first to me as well. Chin up! The gatekeepers should back off soon.

A co-worker of mine just got the same email that you're talking. Knowing I'm a fan, she came to me and gave me the news and forward me that email. I also, like yourself did some research and I couldn't find anything. I honestly think is kind of bogus;

For one, the email time stamp said it was received Sat. Aug, 9 2008. However, the actualy text body says Aug. 10 (a future date)...mmmm? kind of weird huh?

Second, she's an Indy Pilot not a NASCAR driver, soooo yeah!!! There goes that. (If NASCAR needs to test something, there're more than plenty of AWESOME teams with experience that'll give them great results) Not to say that she's not a great driver, I"M A BIG FAN OF HER....is just she's Open Wheel...She'll be Great at INDY tests.

Third, those links are bogus. They don't work. The sender is really not addressed to cnn and so yeah...no good.

NOW I COULD BE WRONG AND CNN DID BREAK NEWS FIRST, BUT I DOUBT IT THAT ITS LEGITE!!!!

She is only 5ft. She will probably die smokin' a guys pole who is too big for her!

If she died, it would be all over the news. It would be a major headline.

Nope, she is alive and well....but she is starting in last place in KY, which should be coming on TV any minute now....

Go Helio..

That is not true. Apparently somebody else (not you) is trying to spread a rumor.

This is what Danica gets for being successful. You are SICK!

I got the same email and searched Yahoo because I thought there was no way it was true even though it came from CNN. Strange. Thank you for asking the question though!

she's dying out on the track right now in kentucky, but not literally. she's running a lap down in 16th, three spots behind fisher, and from what she's saying about her car, it doesn't look like it will get much better.

ps. just a suggestion - i'd delete this question and maybe repost with a less "shocking" headline if you want to warn people about the email. just a suggestion.
