Well I will make my predictions for Homestead for Princess Lapped a Lot.
3 laps down unless lucky with yellows.
Assisted into the wall or spun out in the last 50 laps if still running.
Longer and wider track so it might not happen. Just the same if she presists in running about 3/4 of a lane from the bottom she will get hit.
But if I am correct or nearly so I just might buy a lottery ticket!
As the race is on TSN2 up here I cannot watch it. Same for the Cup race.
I'm impressed with your optimism! Really - you're giving her more credit than I'm thinking about. :)Quote:

So this is where I have to come to get my Princess bashing in now?
As the throttle interaction goes down, Danica's potential goes up. If she were to finish, I'd say 22nd 2 laps down. But! Homestead is a 2 groove track, she won't master either and will get put into a wall by lap 69.Quote:

Just read parts of the USA Today interview with her. I come away dumbfounded that she actually believes her own hype!! I'm absolutely lost as to how a "professional" can justify themselves the way she does. If anybody else were as bad at their job as she is hers, they'd be fired pure and simple.
She states that she went to the Nationwide website to see that some of the drivers had over 150 starts while she only had 8!! Yeah? What about those that have had NONE and smoked her happy ass? The logic and justification she and her fans use for her very existence is ludicrous.
Hey, at least now she admits that she's able to find the fan switches. She also admits to crying, well there is no crying in motor racing. NOW GO AWAY!
Yes.Quote:

On Danica, he said that she just can't seem to get up to speed at any track in the first practice, and by the time she's comfortable, everyone else has a practice worth of at-speed, and she has a hard time catching up. Well, duh!! Newsflash -any one of us could have told him that! I will work very hard to try to find that link. I thought it might have been in my Racer e-mails, but no. When I find it, I'll post the link.
Today's just another day of not getting up to speed. I fully anticipate more of the same tonight, and then at the end they'll put a qualy set-up with fresh tires on her car, and she'll do her one or two obligatory fast laps. And a few people here will comment that she's got it together and she really is good. Again. And then, more excuses!
