Estrada on FoxSports.com: Get off Danica's back!
IRL Blogs — Even though she was not at fault for the incident that took her out of today's Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Danica Patrick is still getting major heat from fans.

Locked in Indy 500 field, IndyCar Series rookie Raphael Matos sets sights on race day
IRL Blogs — After being unable to qualify on the first day last Saturday, IndyCar Series rookie Raphael "Rafa" Matos made his first Indianapolis 500 on Sunday with a four-lap average of 223.429 m.p.h. in the No. 2 Luczo Dragon Racing machine.

Matos, the reigning Firestone Indy Lights champion, took some time out this morning to talk with me about his qualifying effort and how his first IndyCar Series campaign has gone so far. While it's seen some good and bad times, there's still ...
