Hope she flops. She has no class, and is a spoiled little baby. Go back to INDY cars...

From Jayski.com on 12/18:

Daytona still possible: Her NASCAR debut is very much in doubt, but Danica Patrick and JR Motorsports made it official she will race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana and the following week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Her GoDaddy.com-sponsored Chevy will have points from a year ago, which means she will not need to qualify. Patrick's first NASCAR race could be the Nationwide race at Daytona. Team co-owners Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick, however, will allow her to make that call following an ARCA race earlier on the high-banked track. "The race is basically a Cup race. Some 30-odd drivers from (Sprint) Cup running that race, and is that the right time for me to start or not? I'm really not sure," Patrick said Thursday at the JR Motorsports press conference in Mooresville, N.C. "You only get one grand opening, as I've heard. We want it to be the right opportunity. We don't want to overcommit and under-deliver."
"Daytona is just a beast," co-owner Kelley Earnhardt and general manager said. "As she alluded to, the experience of 30-some Cup drivers out there against what experience she is going to have. Is that a situation she wants to put herself into? It's a do-or-die. Do we want to put that to be her first entry point coming into NASCAR? You're always remembered by it. Dale Jr., his first Daytona race in 1998, he was upside down on his roof."(Inland Valley Inland Bulletin)(12-18-2009)

What is BS, is Danica will get in the field because she has a sponsor, and a better driver will go home...

Danica in ARCA = Caution flag.

Sponsor has nothing to do with her getting in the field.
Wait to see how she rates in ARCA and Nationwide, she seems to hold her own in open wheel, she may do the same on a stocker.

NASCAR is a business. Danica will put people in the seats. End of story.

Yes NASCAR is a business, but Danica Patrick is a business too. If she make an @ss out of herself being a NASCAR backmarker, that devalues her. If she not competitive she should pull the plug and go back to indy cars.

I say give her a chance. everyone complained about Ashley Force taking a seat away and she appears to be picking it up just fine.

Considering the amount of resources that have been spent on her she has been a mediocre driver at best.

She will put people in the stands, and that is what it's all about.

Her driving ability, and her ability to generate interest for the owners, are 2 quite different things.

The reason she could do anything at all in Indy is very simple: she weighs 100 lbs. In a small car, that's a big deal (there aren't any male drivers even as small as 125 lbs. that I know of).

In a bigger car her advantage fades quite a bit, and her well-known tendency to complain, make mistakes and excuses, and demand special treatment will be less... tolerable. If she's smart she'll take the long contract for less money because when they find out that the public's interest fades after a few dozen hissy-fits and lots of DNF they're bought an expensive loser.
Don't you think there's someone out there pimping a younger, prettier girl, with bigger t*ts?

But, when has "feminism" been about anything more than transferring privilege from 1 sex to the other?

Equality as a demand used to mean "that's not fair - and it should stop".
Then it meant "that's not fair - and we want it too"
Now it means "that's not fair - and only women should get it".

Just my opinion: Nascar fans have the lowest degree of technical knowledge of any fan group I can think of.
Nascar "stores" do not sell any parts for any cars, let alone the cars that race.
Nascar has not had a car entered that was even remotely similar to something you can actually buy for 30 years.
Remember the famous comment "Whur kin Ah git me one-a-thim Ford Taurus 2 doors, with the V8 motor and rear-wheel drive"?

The wrestling fans will be glad to hear that.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
