• Congestion prevents drivers from moving up
• Five things you may have missed this weekend
• Patrick's struggles continue with poor qualifying performance

The buzz is still on about Saturday's confrontation between Danica Patrick and fellow female IRL driver Milka Duno.

After finishing a practice run and getting out of her car, Patrick quickly walked to where Duno, the only other woman racing here this weekend, was pitted and argued with the less experienced driver about getting in her way several times during the practice.

The altercation lasted only about a minute, but witnesses said it grew heated and that Duno flung a towel in Patrick's direction at one point as the two exchanged words. Patrick eventually walked away.

Patrick, who has previously confronted fellow drivers Briscoe and Dan Wheldon after racing incidents, brushed off the latest dustup, saying, "I just wanted to know if she saw me out there."

Here's one of many YouTube videos recording the clash:
