Milka Duno a moving chicane

Milka Duno, the IRL's 2nd most popular driver has been deemed unfit by her peers

On the first few laps of the first practice, with fresh tires and almost no other drivers around her, IndyCar racer Milka Duno lost control of her car, smashed into the tire barrier and shredded her rear wing on Friday in Edmonton.

It was fresh fodder for fellow drivers who renewed calls to expel the Venezuelan racer for a driving style that has morphed from punchline to menace.

"She's obviously not up to speed," said Danica Patrick, prior to Duno's crash during the first practice session for Sunday's Honda Indy Edmonton.

Patrick said the problem is not so much Duno's speed as the fact she doesn't follow accepted practice and move over when she's a lap down to let faster drivers get by.

"I'm not against having some different speeds up there, but she's not as gracious about her position as maybe somebody else might be," said Patrick.

Duno, the 38-year-old driver for Dale Coyne Racing, has been pulled by track officials from two races this year, including last week in Toronto, for driving so slowly she was deemed a hazard.
