But she is still learning! :DQuote:

Even Eury, Jr thought the best they could hope for was a top 25 and "only" one lap down. After 12 races, that is pretty sad.
Whatever she has been doing back in the pack (thankfully ESPN no longer dwells on that too much), obviously even the back markers no longer give her ANY respect. After Raines moved her out of the way, even Shepherd roughed her up. When Morgan Shepherd moves you out of the way, you really are a menace. These guys are racers running on no budget who are just trying to make a living and can't afford to fix bodywork. They do everything to avoid contact. But they are professionals and racers at heart. If you don't show them any respect, and chop and block, and wonder all over the track like some of the coverage shows she is doing, eventually they will do something about it. These guys grew up on the bull rings and they understand "physical" racing. Danica apparently thinks she is exempt from the rule to play nice or ........
But she showed them. First she put Alex Kennedy (who?) in the wall just because she was bumped by him. That was ridiculous and really over the top. It was like going after the 98 lb weakling after getting shoved by football star. Then she tried to push Annett out of the way and put herself in the wall. Yeah, she showed them. What a total joke.
Unfortunately, it won't be funny when her antics gets someone hurt. Right now, all she is doing is regularly tapping the deep pockets of GoDaddy and giving body men job security.
I suspect the "Danica" show is really wearing thin in the Nationwide garage. She has crashed or had incidents in every race and seems to have p*ssed off nearly all of the racers she was been driving around. In that respect, she is worse than Steven Wallace. She is the NASCAR version of a cross between Milka Duno and KV racing. Gets in everyone's way, then crashes. Al least Milka is really nice to the people around her.
