I am. And she's hot as a mother. And not a redneck.


VERY VERY few of the Sprint Cup drivers actually ARE 'rednecks' anymore, and some of it's fans regret this A LOT.

No threat tonight. Looks like she had engine issues then got rear-ended. Out

In this case no. Kurt Busch also had an engine failure and they both run Hendrick engines. Dale Jr, another Hendrick engine, was reporting a vibration also.

If she were to *un* dress in something from Victoria`s Secret

Excellent response. Maybe we should add another discussion group for good looking female athletes. There's some hot little golfers out there. And some pro tennis players, including one who is a part time fashion model. Just my two cents.

Danica is a treat to look at compared to many of the male unshaven, wide eyed drivers. I like Hot_Ajaxs idea. Ed

I'm in the "if she were male she'd be out of a career already" camp. She had one IRL win, a fuel mileage win at Motegi. This her third full season in stock cars and while she's improved in recent weeks she's still nothing deserving a premier ride as far as skills go. She's a marketing machine though and racing is a business first and foremost, so I can't blame Gene Haas and Smoke for giving her a ride.

How come everytime someone mentions the win at Montegi...this fuel mileage subject comes up. Like she's not deserving of a win because she managed her fuel better than the others.

Some of you guys are clueless; racing is about MARKETING, and she's a marketing machine as you say, which is why she is where she is. She also is a decent race car driver; she's better than some other drivers with a full time ride and she gets marketing dollars.

She wouldn't be where she is though if she wasn't a decent all around driver. The fact that she is an attractive female gets the marketing dollars, of which professional racing exists off of.

I think some of you good ol boys are just jealous and spiteful of progress. How dare a woman be a stock car driver...

There was also Jennifer Jo Cobb. Whatever happened to her?

Totally underfunded. She is in mediocre equipment at best, and seems to have horrible luck with reliability. I know she regularly complains about other teams having shaker rigs so that the cars come off the trailer setup for the track. Sad but you have to pay to play.

The other drivers completely disagree with you:

Yeah, apparently she drives race cars as a side gig.

Missed most of the race. Thought I heard that Danica was in 2nd place and crashed. True?

Blew a tire and hit the wall. Pit strategy by others made her get up to 2nd place. The 51 car was also in first today.

I have nothing but respect for this Rally B (killer B's) driver from France.

She can drive and tame this 600HP beast:


This lady had balls and amazing driver. WRC is for boys, Rally Class B is for men and her.

 

[Eddie]

Gee, after the way Tony Steward screwed up so bad, I think Danica is maybe even better than I thought. Go Danica.

AGREED, but it's hard to make that judgement now that NO ONE can rally Group B cars anymore.

One day I hope to own a fully prepped RS200 with the 750 + hp Evolution 2.1 rallycross engine in the middle.
