Danica Patrick Does Care About Her Helmet

For a moment, it looked like Danica Patrick was going to pull a Tony Stewart. Stewart may have been a bit unhappy after a wreck and decided to throw his helmet at Matt Kenseth’s car. It was a pretty amazing moment, and Danica looked to be lining up Regan Smith for a similar toss.

Instead, though, we got the Danica Finger Wag. It was pretty great, too.

Two helmet tosses were probably too much to ask for. We can settle for a Danica Finger Wag, though. Where Stewart’s toss was a moment that could’ve been narrated with expletives, Danica’s was more “You shouldn’t have done that.”

And she saved her helmet, so that’s something.
