Fans boo Danica at Pocono

Danica Patrick booed

Danica Patrick had a discussion with some fans at Pocono who booed her as she was walking back from pit road at Pocono on Friday.

A man appeared to walk into a pass-through to get Patrick’s autograph as she walked from pit road to the garage. He was stopped by security, and Patrick acknowledged the man’s presence and — if he was asking for an autograph — refused to sign.

That elicited boos from people on the other side of the walkway. When Patrick heard those boos she went over to confront them about the booing.

“Since I’m old, instead of taking the booing, I want to tell you guys … I do the best I can. I mean, if you’re a real fan you know that I’m not just — my job is not to sign autographs, right? My job is to drive a car and to tell the crew chief what’s going on.

“I don’t appreciate the booing. It hurts my feelings. I’m a f—— person, you know what I mean? I’m a person too. I have feelings."

Patrick continued talking to fans for a few more seconds before walking away. Yahoo Sports
