Danica Patrick thinks David Gilliland should heed his own advice. And she also would prefer if Gilliland started racing her a little cleaner.

Gilliland said after Sunday's race at Kansas that Patrick should "shut up and race," after she complained over her radio about the way he races her.

On Friday, Patrick suggested Gilliland does not race her the same way he races other drivers, and it dates back almost a year to Darlington last season.

Patrick made an appearance Wednesday on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," joking about her road rage in a race car.

But she insists the issue with Gilliland was not an incident of road rage, and that Gilliland does not race her appropriately.
