Danica Patrick Flies AirTran. Sorta.

It's not quite a MILF promotion, but AirTran is definitely aiming for the 18-to-35-and-male set with its newly christened 717, "AirTranica Won." Named in honor of Danica Patrick, the plane's special livery celebrates her historic IndyCar racing victory on Sunday.

AirTran is also hoping to lure race fans with its new Flash game, AirTran Raceway. It's not as much fun as some of the internet timewasters we've enjoyed, but it's a decent lunchtime diversion. (While its fun to imitate Michael Bluth, we don't recommend driving the stair car.)

If that's still not enough IndyCar for you, it's worth mentioning that AirTran has XM radio on all its flights. You'll find racing news and updates on channel 145.
