If you look you will see Danica set the fastest time trial in the Natiowide race sat . That should give you something to think about other than what or what not will happen Sunday...Eye candy below--but no tattoo sorry guys
If I were sponsoring a race I would be honored to have Danica sit on my pole.
Well put William
William, I will not touch that comment with a 10 foot pole!!!!
I would Tim. Even one shorter.
On another note. Danica is not only good looking she is a good race car driver. True she has won 1 IRL race. So what. You can still be a good racecar driver and not win any races.
Look how long it took Dale Sr. to win the Daytona 500. Mark Martin has never won it.
Too much imphasis is put on winning. Consistency is what counts. Just give her time. Let her run a full season concentrating on the stock cars instead of going back and forth between NASCAR and the IRL.
She was running a good race Thursday until she was caught up in someone else's mishap. Can't fault her with that one.
The first thing the starter will see when he throws the green flag is ---- the Honey Badger
lets see who he waves the green flag to first ------ It will be a GREEN car
Could it be that she HAS peoples attention?? Or maybe they are actually worried. Even the Goats are steering clear if you havent noticed
Unfortunately Danica did today in the Daytona Nationwide race what I have seen hundreds of other drivers do at Daytona and Talladega. In every Rookie and drivers meeting I have ever attended at those two tracks, drivers are instructed in no uncertain terms that if they ever find themselves in the position Danica did hooking the apron, they are to immediately steer to the LEFT and LOCK the brakes. Replays look like she did just the opposite. She steered right and kept it in the gas.
That car was savable from going back up the track if she had followed the standard NASCAR instructions given at every Daytona and Talladega drives meeting.
Sorry, Tommie, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. I don't believe too much emphasis is put on winning - that's the name of the game. After all, isn't a race supposed to be a contest to see who can finish 1st?
As for Danica being a good race car driver, every driver who makes it to the Cup level is a good race car driver...............although I will say that Danica had a much easier time getting there than most racers do, i.e., she had a lot of influential people helping her.
Regarding the comment about the amount of time it took DaleEarnhardt to win the D500, I honestly can't believe you would even compare Danica to Dale Earnhardt in any shape, form, or fashion. It should be noted here that he was a 7-time Cup champion before he won the D500, plus the winningest driver to ever race at Daytona in total number of victories.
At this point, I have to view Danica as purely a marketing tool by the people & corporate sponsors who are splashing her name & picture all over everything. She really has done nothing to earn that kind ofmedia & advertising attention.............but sadly, NASCAR racing and/or marketing has become a money game today...............and any kind of idea (such as Danica marketing) which makes money for NASCAR and/or the corporate sponsors will always fly.
I still miss the good old days when it was still all about racing.
Thanks much, PK - sorry I missed your contact attempt, but I had to run an errand just after my last post. Thanks for the 'welcome back', have missed being a participant on RR...........but maybe I can be more consistent (LOL)going forward.
