Hmmm...perhaps Indy car racing might be worth watching

SEMA draws its share of celebrities - the hosts of various car overhaul/customization shows, general celebrity types, people involved in auto racing, etc. Old friend Mad Mike and his entourage made a quick cameo appearance yesterday, saying a quick hello as they passed by. Michael Andretti was a few booths away but the real draw this morning was Indy Car racer Danica Patrick. I can't take credit for these photos...my colleagues took turns playing stalker as she was interviewed on XM Radio.

Surprisingly, the host was asking her about the color of her fingernail polish at this point (vodka and caviar, for anyone interested...I wasn't even aware they were colors). The crowd of hardened 12V professionals was spellbound and in desperate need of fashion tips.

The heels are apparently a necessity as Ms. Patrick is very very tiny. Needless to say, she was outdrawing Michael Andretti by a 3-to-1 margin during their simultaneous appearances.
