I am slacking in my "Danica Duties"
Today is her birthday......
Happy B-day Danica...may you receive an instruction manual on how to race a stock car as a gift!!! :beer:
I didn't post this on her birthday, as it would not be nice. However, it's no longer her birthday. Is there a "Stock Car Racing for Dummies" book available?Quote:

AS for wishing her a happy birthday, I will when she personally phones me on MINE!!
Don't mind me, just checking back in, that's all..... :p
I don't get why Danica has all this coverage. Is it just because of her gender? It can't be for her racing talent! She is mid pack in IRL at best. Now I'm not some jealous female, yadda yadda yadda, I have no interest in driving or racing in a car. I just see a reasonalbe racing driver who happens to be female and has a "legend in her own mind" mentality.
because, unlike Sarah Fisher, Simona, Katherine Legge, and all the other woman drivers trying to get it all have one major thing in common compared to Danica, "they didn't sell their bodies to get the attention" she is a half attractive driver when she piles the makeup on her.Quote:

when she jumps the Nascar, the initial "Bandwagon" fans that say they will be a Danica fan because she is a hot female driver will be in a rude surprise when she starts missing races when she wont qualify on speed. and "the brand" wanted to go straight into the Sprint Cup Series, while she cant do anybetter then a 30th place in a car that is a top 10 car

this just in, breaking news from IMS, Danica has officially broken a nail
that is all :p :
Danica is useless as a racer. Posing for cheesecake pics is what she does best and the passing of time will eventually end that stint for her. I hope she has invested her money well to provide for her when her looks are gone since she has no talent to back that up. :)
yeah, I for one cant wait to see her quit racing, or gets run out of the sport, which ever is first :laugh:Quote:

Not bad with a brokrn nail either;Fifth place
I keep wondering what the name is of this Pole guy Danica Fan keeps predicting she is going to get. :p :
Just a reminder to all those who didn't watch DSPN's coverage of the Nationwide race at Road America this past weekend...
DANICAMANIA IS BACK AS OF THIS WEEK AT LOUDON, NEW HAMPSHIRE
We were reminded, a couple of times, that this would be the case.
Oh, by the way, 42 other drivers will be there to, including the current Sprint Cup points leader, Kevin Harvick, as well as everybody's favorite Love/Hate driver, Kyle Busch. No promo's for them, however (although Harvick and Busch did get a quicky mention from Bestwick as an aside).
I actually feel bad for the Nationwide regulars this week. If all Kevin and Kyle could get was a backhanded comment, the Allgaiers and Lefflers of the series won't even exist.
Well, at least she doesn't have to qualify on time. Someone spent a lot of money to keep the 7 in the top 30, and then only 43 cars enter anyway. I usually like the Nationwide races, but this is one I will probably miss, or at least watch on mute.
Over / under on when she hits the wall. She has had incidents at every other event, so it may not be an "if" and it was reported she crashed in private testing at Milwaukee.
yeah, I'm not gonna watch the race, because I dont need to know every 5 seconds on DSPN where "The Brand" is running and how Tony Eury tells her what an awesome job she is doing while 3 laps down in equipment that should be in the top 5
She's back. Whoop-dee-doo. :rolleyes:
Hell, they couldn't promote enough the fact she is running next week on the Road America broadcast. I wanted to lose my lunch...
Sigh. No more Nationwide races for a while. And I do really enjoy them, but not when it's a Danica-lovefest for a back-of-the-pack DRIVER.
Look at the bright side. Listening to them trying to make excuses for the reason she was lapped 10 laps in is pretty much entertainment!Quote:

Well, she did go after Morgan Shepard, one of the kindest, gentlest, cleanest drivers in the sport...Quote:

I don't get where she gets off with this attitude. There is no evidence to support her own thoughts of superiority. The jury is in, she will fail at this NASCAR stuff....Quote:

BG...this is your weekend. You have the lead on trashing Danica this weekend. Please make us all proud! I know Danica herself won't disappoint by giving us all the opporutunity.
What an honor...I think! Oh, the pressure! Now I'll need to bring my A game to the thread. Of course, as you said, the opportunities might be endless, making the job easy. There are after all two races to choose from. Unfortunately, the one race isn't on TV until October 7 or something like that.Quote:

Waynes World was based in Aurora, Illinois, remember, Danica isnt that bright in the head, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
"It's darty - I don't know - is that a help?"
Well, now, I'm impressed. Wallow around 25-30th all practice long, then slap a new set of tires and a quallie setup on it for the last 10 minutes, and wowie, one fast lap to push her up to 12th. Her average lap time for the whole session though, which to me is the telling factor, is still one of the slowest.
This wait-to-the-last-minute, slap new tires and go out for one or two laps is the m.o., regardless of which series she's in. She can do it for one, but putting it all together? Not really.
I wish that other series she runs in would post the average speed/average lap time for the session in addition to best lap, last lap. That stat shows who is all show, and who is all go.
I don't dislike her because she's female. I dislike her because she's a poser. All hype, very little substance.
I'm not necessarily defending her, but doesn't it happen that way a lot? I know in Cup you'll see drivers put up a fast lap late because they were working on race setups up to the end of practice and then they go out and make a run with a qualifying setup. I find you can't always rely on practice speeds because you never know what people are working on.
Ok, I am impressed that Danica finished 6th, on the lead lap, and somehow kept it off the wall. Although she thought that was "a heck of a lot of laps". Tomorrow should be interesting, if she thought 150 were a lot. The competition will be a good bit tougher and less forgiving too.
Pretty good run in the race that's the Star Mazda of NASCAR - fourth level down from Cup. Actually, it's series' like this that she should have started out in if she was truly serious about making this kind of change, but that wasn't in the PR plans at all. True racer, or media sensation? I think we know which won out, hands down of course.
And please don't mention Dario, Sam, or Dinger, or JPM. They were all multiple winners/champions before they made the switch. She's not on their level at all.
well for her to finish in the top 10 in a nationwide race is for 39 cars to crash, yeah, damaged cars are still gonna outrun her :p :
