It just goes to show Johnny that with big bucks behind you it's possible to do whatever you want in racing these days. She has no experience in BIG cars, but will get the usual youth learning curve of logging laps with 'training wheels" like so many other no talent drivers who have sponsorship money behind them. Asscar needs a PR boost so enter Danicaaaaaa. She'll get in the way and whine like she does in Indycar and have the cameras and press following everything she does...just what France wants to get attention. I'm all for talented experienced drivers getting rides in Nascar but this is strictly PR for a dying organization. The positive is like Robbie says... at least she's out of Indycar!! Now we can enjoy that and not hear her name anymore (I hope).Pete

PRAISE JESUS!!! Now can somebody get her a full time Cup ride so that she'll be out of my life forever? I have a dream, that one day IndyCar will be Danica free. And will sing the words of that old spiritual- FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST. PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY I'm free at last.

y'all say what you want, she's a whiner, and yeaahh it's a PR boon for NASCAR(which will now stand for Nice A*s Sure Can Alter Ratings) but I sure would bump her from behind going into turn 1, turn 2, turn 3, turn 4, turn 5, turn 6...oh, uh.... right, she's just there because she uh... can err, ummm...drive a racecar real good, see & therfore, she deserves the right to s-s-s-s-slide down.. hmm-mmmh... into the seat, yeah, and get a, uh,.. firm, Tight grip on the steering wheel. She needs a little, um ... t-ttt-t-training, thats all. ........oh, wait.. where was I? Yeah, man she hasn't even come close to earning a ride in Cup!! What is Brian France thinking by allowing this to happen?... I bet I know, turn7, turn 8, turn 9, ........

I think she will do just fine. I have heard on Pit Lane callers complaining the she has not paid her dues in motorsports. She has come up through the ranks in Europe in order to get a ride in F1, open wheel when was 16. Understandable it was not through a Modified then on to ARCA and so, but she has the seat time to get where she is today. She will be better and in sooner time than Montoya, for the simple fact she will not bring alone the I am better than you attuide as he did when he came over from IRL.
