Patrick happy in IRL

Danica Patrick is enjoying life very well right now. And no, she isn't thinking about leaving the Indy Racing League for some other series like say, NASCAR's Nextel Cup. "I saw (reigning cup champion) Kurt Busch at the ESPYs. I said, `I don't know how you do it? How do you do that many races?' He said, `It's hard. You don't have a life," Patrick said Friday after earning the outside spot on the front row when rain washed out qualifying for Saturday night's Firestone Indy 200. Patrick said she enjoys the 17-race schedule for the IRL's IndyCar Series as opposed to the 36-race schedule for Nextel Cup. That leaves her time for the other part of her life. ESPN.com/AP
