    Danica Patrick knows there isn't enough time before the Indianapolis 500 to make the significant changes she believes her car needs.

    "Most probably I would need big changes," she told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "But I think we can get close. I don't think it's going to be the perfect car, but I think we can get close."

    IndyCar's most popular driver will start 23rd Sunday, her worst spot ever at Indy. Patrick was booed Saturday when her comments blaming a poor qualifying performance on her car's setup were broadcast over the track's public address system.

    During a whirlwind trip to New York on Tuesday to promote the race, Patrick said she didn't regret her words.

    "Could I have put it a little bit more PC? Probably," she said. "But that's never been me. I think I've been quite a bit better in the last year or two. When you go from qualifying in the top 10 to 23rd, it's a pretty big shift."
