What does IndyCar Series Bombardier Rookie of the Year Danica Patrick have in common with Nobel Prize winning physicists - besides maybe an appreciation for the music of Nelly?
They are included in the 2006 edition of "Who's Who in America," featuring the most diverse group of achievers, leaders and superstars ever assembled in the 107-year history of Marquis "Who's Who in America."
The book contains more than 100,000 biographical profiles from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to Paris Hilton. Patrick, the highest female finisher in the history of the Indianapolis 500, is a first-time entrant along with rapper Kanye West, iPod designer Jonathan Ive and "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria.
Patrick, who started three races from the pole position during her first season in the IndyCar Series, had a high finish of fourth. She became the focus of worldwide media attention after becoming the first woman to lead laps in the 89th Indianapolis 500. Patrick was married this past weekend in Arizona.
"I am particularly proud of the 2006 edition," Marquis Who's Who CEO Gene McGovern said in a statement. "In this edition we have made ourselves even more exclusive by raising the bar on our standards of admission, while, at the same time, broadening our scope of coverage.
"In the past, we have tended to focus on more traditional fields of endeavor, featuring corporate leaders, university presidents, leading members of the medical community and other classical 'pillars of society.' In this volume, we have attempted to make the book more contemporary, bringing in individuals of more diverse backgrounds and experiences, while still maintaining the highest standards of admission."
