Want to kill some time? Check out this groovy little online game where not only do you get to race Danica! using airport equipment (the Luggage Carrier must be a Ganassi vehicle), but you also get taunted by her during your duel.

“Grandma? Is that you?”

Nice. To top it off, you can also score some free airline tickets. Feel the love.

AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), announced today that it has teamed up with IndyCar superstar Danica Patrick to launch a brand-new online game called AirTran Raceway, the first-ever video game to star Patrick. The airline, a sponsor of Andretti Green Racing and Danica Patrick, will reward online gamers with airline tickets for logging the fastest time at http://www.airtranraceway.com. Players can choose to race "Digital Danica" on four different track options - all of which are set at an airport - and in a number of airport-themed racing vehicles such as a supercharged luggage truck.

AirTran Airways will link its game with Danica's IndyCar Series schedule by rewarding the fastest racer on each of the game's four tracks with a round- trip ticket on AirTran Airways at the end of every IndyCar Series race week - 16 weeks total. To race Danica and compete for one of more than 60 free* airline tickets, participants need only sign up for AirTran Airways' award- winning frequent-flier program, A+ Rewards, and start racing at http://www.airtranraceway.com.
