'NASCAR, Welcome To "Danica-Mania"...'

[Panther_99FS]

Indycar drivers went through the same thing...

Ricky Stenhouse needed to figure out a team name for a Nationwide Series version of the “Family Feud” game recently.

He looked at his team of Nationwide drivers – himself, Sam Hornish Jr., Brian Scott, Justin Allgaier and Danica Patrick – and a team name popped into his head:

“Danica and Those Other Guys.”

She has a very good point and I'm beginning to side with her on it.
Maybe, just maybe, the idiot media needs to get over the fact that she is an attractive young woman and concentrate on he ability or not to drive a car!
As for the remarks about Sports Illustrated swimsuits and Go-Daddy 'skimpy' outfits, get over it, I see more on display on any day IRL.
“You guys are the wordsmiths,” Patrick said. “I’m not a wordsmith. But just something without the word ‘sex’ in it.”
Good response!!

We'll see how she does at Daytona.

Danica is fast - no doubt about it.
My concern is that there are other female drivers whom have shown superior speed to Danica in more junior series. And at least one in Indycar who at times, competed with Danica in her lesser funded team with an older chassis.

$$$$$ & good looks. The other women are not as good looking and they don't have a big time sponsor following them around. Jr said in an interview yesterday that Danica has done his team more good than they have done for her.

If Sarah Fisher didn't have the oldest & heaviest Dallara in IndyCar & if she was on a better team, it's quite debateable that on ovals, she would have been faster than Danica...

On road courses, Katherine Legge easily out-performed Danica in the junior series accumulating multiple wins while Danica had none.
