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.

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"?

It has everything to do with her getting a ride in ARCA. You think if she didn't have the "Go Daddy" sponsor coming with her Jr. Motorsports would have hired her?

Danica has one only one IRL race, and that was because of fuel. Lot's of Open Wheel drivers, with numerous wins have failed miserably in NASCAR. Sure Tony Stewart is a successful Open Wheel driver in NASCAR, but he grew up racing on the dirt. I say Danica is too old to simply hop in a 3400 lb car and be a force in a 43 car field.

She will have her work cut out for her, but I am cheering for her.

I think the smart thing will be to run the ARCA race at Daytona, not the Nationwide race. Then run the next Nationwide race as her debut.

IMO, she will have to work on her temper to be accepted in NASCAR. And to avoid too many wrecks.

Schumacher has never raced in NASCAR...But Nigel Mansell and Villeneuve did. They failed.

Montoya has done OK...

Danica will bring a few fans to the ARCA series, then a few more to the Nationwide series, she'll probably quailify because she'll be in good equipment, she'll get lapped, crash out, get frustrated....And go away.

She's not that good a driver.

She's a loser. It will be entertaining no matter where she goes. A true loser always blames everyone else when they don't have the skill to win.

Again, she doesn't have to have a sponsor or a fast qualifing lap to get in the field, she'll be in because of car owner points.

You are correct about her getting into the field, but having "Go Daddy" a sponsor helped her find a ride with Jr Motorsports.

It's a high dollar sport, money is hard to come buy and I have a feeling they will be building her a few cars....

I'm not hoping she does poorly, I just wish she would have landed the ride because of her ability, and not because she's so damn hot.....LOL

Although she may have come with a sponsor, she didn't need one to get hired at Jr Motorsports. An attactive female racer that's has had huge media coverage in the past, sponsors would have been tripping over each other to set her up with a NASCAR ride.

My question is, did she want to move to NASCAR on her own, or did NASCAR do anything help persuade her to come over and help boost the sagging tickets sales.

She was trying to get a NASCAR ride last summer and didn't get it. She re-upped her IRL deal and NASCAR was supposedly off the radar for her.

Maybe maybe not...

Sponsors have been moving out of NASCAR...But you might have a point...She's definitely marketable.

Lowes could drop for JJ for Danica...Anytime.

I predict she will win a pole within 5 races, but have lousy finishes. I don't see her lasting too long. MY

You figure there are no grizzled veterans racing NASCAR anymore, everyone is a PR manufactured 20 something pretty boy, so she will fit right in.

Can't wait to see that Viagra car chasing down Danica from behind. If she gets a Victoria Secrets sponsorship then it will be the Viagra car chasing the Victoria Secrets car.

He's it. The rest of them look like they just graduated high school.

But, they are a PR guys dream....and NASCAR's goal is to sell t shirts and novelties, not necessarily to sanction races.

She'll fit right in.

I am not at all demeaning her abilities or her deserving of this opportunity. More power to her, she must have something on the ball or her attractiveness wouldn't matter.

My deal with the whole NASCAR thing is that it is now more marketing than anyone else. Of course, drag racing is playing the same game, i.e. Gary Densham lost his sponsorship due to his age and the fact he was not a PR guys' dream. Because that is now the nature of NASCAR, she will fit right in with the rest of them.

I am not a NASCAR fan, and the above mentioned fact is one of the main reasons why. NHRA is not far behind. However, I do realize that you can't fight city hall, that is the way the game is played nowadays.

I just don't have to like it.

There were more women at the Daytona ARCA test than I can ever remember. Can't name them all, but Milk and Donuts was there along with the really scary looking in makeup Cope twins. They are nieces of Derrike Cope. Something about all that makeup in a firesuit kind of creeps me out.

I guess she realized there were some tracks she hadn't wrecked at so she is going after the challenge. I suspect she won't be around long as she did a fair share of wadding up the open wheel cars and "...If you ain't rubbin', you ain't racin'..." NASCAR boys will give her fits. Wonder if there will be a 'contest' to see who can spin her out or put her into the wall first?

I'll be interested to see how long the side show goes on or if she has the skills to become a Chase qualifier.

It's gonna be a bad day in the Cope pits when one of them gets all hot and sweaty inside the car and their makeup runs into their eyes and they hit the wall over it.

fwiw. she is in one of Dale E. jr...cars

All professional Motorsports are entertainment pure and simple, if it means more people going to watch in person and TV so be it... I dont watch Nascar on a regular basis and I dont really like it, but if given the chance it would be awsome to compete at that level on someone elses dime, it will be entertaining just to watch what happens with Dale Jr's new team, If not anything else she is easy on the eye's.

they have you fooled. It is about exposure and marketing not her being afraid. There will be 30 Nextel drivers in the Daytona nationwide race. Her finishing near the back is not the exposure they are looking for. The next nationwide race she will be the main topic for the whole race. Hmm how many sponsor views will that be? more than the winner by 10 fold!

He doesn't demean himself by racing in the ARCA or Nationwide cars.

Driving beside Danica couldn't be any worse than being next to a Buckshot or anyone named Sauter or anyone named Bodine or anyone that has won a truck championship or leading a race with someone with the nickname Ironhead behind you.

Besides, maybe Junior can teach her how to spin out, bring out caution and never have to go a lap down.

See, lots of positives here.

Oh, and I think she has nice little boobies.
