The Power of Danica Patrick

Just wanted to point out the power of Ms. Patrick in the publicity machine known as NASCAR. Yesterday, during the Nationwide race, SPEED was in commercial that I just happened to notice because of the beautiful blue Mustang convertible. I was watching the Mustang when suddenly the camera view from inside Danica's car popped on the screen as she was rolling into the garage area with her mechanical woes. SPEED pre-empted the commercial because Danica was headed to the garage. After the appropriate time spent covering Danica's departure from the competition, SPEED returned to commercial break and this time the commercial played all the way through. As most of you know, I detest commercials, but the Mustang convertible caught my attention. I really want a convertible. In the money hungry world of NASCAR, Danica can interrupt a commercial just by having mechanical problems.

Oh,. and the commercial? About "low T". Sort of ironic, don't you think?

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Breaking news from Daytona:

1. The trophy awarded the winner of the Daytona 500 is no longer the Harley J. Earl Trophy. It is now the Danica Patrick Award.

2. The Daytona 500 will be known in the future as "The Danica Patrick 500".

3. It has been determined that the Danica leading the 500 is NOT the first time a good looking woman was chased by 42 men.

Fox made DW talk so much about Go Girl, he hardly had time to tell us what a great job Mikey was doing as he cruised at the rear of the pack.

Sandeep, I appreciate your artistic addition to this post! You're good.

Will, I wish I could take credit for that number 3. A young man, friend of mine on another site, actually came up with it yesterday afternoon. I asked for permission to use it and he gave me that permission. He is a young college student in New York and is a huge fan of Football, Baseball and Hockey. But, far and above anything else, he is a NASCAR fan. Last year, as a matter of fact, he was in the stands at Daytona right in front of that croosover gate where Kyle Larson hit. He sent me the video of himself there. Quite an unique young man.
