can you pm a link if you find it. I don't get cable and was on a retreat this weekend but I tried to have someone record it for me. I want to see what happen in qualifying.

At one time I thought she had some talent but it appears now she is only semi competative on the ovals where she has a top car. There are more good drivers now and she is sinking down the field.
Yet she is the most popular American female athalete! Not on the forums though!
It isn't name calling. It is general disgust over more of her antics. What was uncalled for was her very over the top response. She was having a miserable weekend, was running almost last and therefore came up on the mess long after it was over, picked an open lane that others had gone through in front of her, but she stopped, and then she stalled it. Error after error - her errors. The only person she should have been angry with was herself.Quote:

Sorry, but this past weekend was a good test of talent as many of the drivers had never seen the track before. Only she and Townsend (and Marco to a certain extent) were completely out to lunch. Even Foyt and Carpenter (2 road race aces - tongue in cheek) were consistent and got faster as the weekend went on. She didn't and was very inconsistent based on lap times.
What probably had her torqued was they she saw an opportunity to get ahead of the other drivers, because "she" didn't crash. Well neither did a couple others caught out by Graham and Carpenter. The safety crews have no obligation to treat her special. Their goal is to clear the track - period. Her screw-up blocked an open lane around the mess, so I doubt they were real happy.
Danica can be fast at times, that is a fact. But over and over again she shows lousy judgment and serious anger management issues. Her emotional maturity seems about the same as a 10 year old as she foot stomps, waves frantically for attention, confronts other drivers, blames everyone else for every issue, and generally behaves like a spoiled child. What is even more scary is that she never apologizes for her behavior, suggesting she thinks she is special and can follow different rules of conduct than other drivers.
Early in her career, at lot was tolerated, but she has been around long enough to know the score and by now "should" have matured a little. This latest display was so out of proportion to the situation that it rants as one of the most bizarre exhibitions I have seen on a race track. My wife and I almost wet our pants laughing and looked at each other and said "what was that all about?". The longer this goes on, the more embarrassing it becomes to the IRL. The drivers are supposed to be professionals and show some composure.
The contrast between her reactions and Dario's reactions could not have been more glaring. She appeared to have a very unprofessional response and really owes those safety workers an apology.
It is fine to get emotional and I can overlook her lack of pace at a track she has never seen (although the fact that Foyt and Carpenter were consistently better seems pretty damning since they are supposedly lesser drivers driving for a certainly lesser team). Even the best drivers have weekend where they are out-to-lunch - but not controlling her outburst is just inexcusable and appears to be a problem that is increasing, not getting better.....
No they didn't. They did it exactly by the book. They had to take care of the cars ahead of her 1st then they had to move the truck to her to start her up.Quote:

She isn't even the top driver on her team.
Graham Rahal* and Dario Franchitti* agreeQuote:
