Danica's Race Car "Stolen"

Let the hype for the 93rd Indianapolis 500 begin: Andretti-Green Racing's shop on the NW side of Indy has become a "crime scene". A group of "burglers" brazenly drove up to the loading docks with a trailer & drove off with the #7 Motorola-sponsored car of Danica Patrick!

Does this all sound like a publicity stunt to you? Well, it should, because no police report has been filed!

Here is the AGR security/survellience video, showing the "break in", which (suprise, suprise) somehow showed up on YouTube:

Someone from the AGR staff has even posted a comment on the video link site, saying that AGR is "in negotiations" with the theives, trying to secure the car's return. 

And here is a supposed "TV news report" about the break-in, which also found it's way onto YouTube: Notice how no specific network or station is mentioned as being the source of this clip.

So: what is this all about? Look for Danica's car (yes, I'm pretty sure that it's back in the shop again) to feature a new sponsor livery come next week when practice for Indy begins; I just couldn't tell you right now what it will be.

And here it is: Danica's car in it's new livery, with Boost Mobile as the primary sponsor: They basically just changed the Motorola blue bits to orange. The unveiling was earlier today at Weir Cook/Indianapolis Intl' Airport.
