I wonder if Danica will be punished for her "after race" spin of Hornish.

Danica is one spoiled, nasty woman. Always had everything given to her. Not someone I would want my son to marry! Enough said.

Danica is one smart cookie, and successful at what she does (the way she does it). But, she doesn't have what it takes to be a NASCAR champion driver. She has everything else,....... why hold it against her?

It just twists my undies...There are a ton of very talented drivers out there just dying to get a shot at the bigs...guys that can drive circles around Danica...
Ya, I know it's a business and Danica sells

Did you notice that she couldn't get ANYONE to work with her, not even Junior..they just don't trust her out there. And then she goes and raises a bunch of eye brows with that uncalled for cheap shot on Hornish after the race.

Funny when the other drivers do it,like little whinney E,nobody makes a big deal out of it.A while back they even had the radio conversation of taking out another driver by someone else.

She isn't a competitive driver and never will be. But she was brought into NASCAR for a reason. Her actions are scripted for crowd appeal or disgust....either adds to the NASCAR ratings
Just like JR. He's a hasbeen but has crowd appeal and is a definite asset to NASCAR viewers.

While I agree with most of every one of your other NASCAR posts I can't with this one....

Danica is nothing more than marketing hype. It made me laugh at Daytona how much DW pumped her up like she was going to win or something.... "So Danica... when you're up there drafting with Smoke.... Are you going to go for it for the win?"

Wasn't it Elliot Sadler who said to her.... "Before you think you can actually win a race maybe you should think about finishing one first!"

Downtheroad is bang on right... "It just twists my undies...There are a ton of very talented drivers out there just dying to get a shot at the bigs...guys that can drive circles around Danica...

I don't have a problem with who she is, what she's doing, nor how she's doing it.
And, I don't have a problem with the way the media and sports commentators treat her.
I know how to judge the driving talent of the drivers, and I enjoy doing it. I also enjoy the total production of the NASCAR show. I fully realize that, and expect, that some races are much better than others. I've been involved with motorsports for 55 years.
