Bobtail Danica? Nah... but Shawna Robinson Did... watch the video

Back in 1988 I had former NASCAR driver Shawna Robinson in my Charlotte office for a photo shoot.

When the chorus of boos coming from the grandstand awakened me from my La-Z-Boy nap last night as Danica Patrick was announced as the fan vote winner to be in NASCAR's All-Star race, I remembered that occassion.

The thought went through my mind that I had seen Shawna "manhandle" big rigs in bobtail races and was convinced Danica could never do that.

For those of you who don't remember, here's a sample... if you look quickly, you might even spot a Wrangler cap or two!

I love Nascar LOL Fan vote right iv all ways liked Shawna Robinson to bad she did not have go daddy back then she could have backed it up

I mean, seriously folks, anyone who believes that "fan vote" wasn't as rigged as the Daytona 500 pole position needs a lesson in reality. Now I sit back and await the "Danica Defenders" to unload on my head. Go for it. NASCAR made fools of themselves last night and so did Sprint. It was self-serving and disgusting. But, as I've always said, she is good for NASCAR. Could be, though, that "good" is running out. I compliment Mark Martin for pulling out on the last lap so she wouldn't be the last place car still running. Wonder what Go Daddy paid him?

She grew up around big trucks Fact ( Shawna),,,,.......... ( Danica Haters .... funny as hell, ,, )

LOL........

I had forgotten that Shawna drove the Big Rigs.

It's kind of difficult for me to put Danica in the same class as Shawna. To me, who was there to see her close up, she was a racer, pure and simple. Danica hes neither the internal fortitude or desire that Shawna had.. Danica in the All Star race? ONLY because the voting was set up to where you could just keep on clicking click after click, never having to exit the site between votes. That's where the vote count was gathered. It certainly had nothing to do with talent or performance. The All Star race proved Danicant.
