Excellent post Beachbum.
If you are referring to my post regarding other drivers crashing in the pits note that I point out others have, but she is doing with some regularity. I have been around this sport for over 50 years and I have never seen anyone have anywhere near as many incidents (or f ups) in or around the pits like Danica has.
Oh yes, I also crewed for a very good woman racer for several years during my 20 odd years as a race mechanic.
She has had a few incidents in the pits. On the track she has been fairly steady and rare is the time when she crashes herself out.
IHMO, her lack of restraint and poor judgment is illustrated not only in the pit incidents, but such events as her nearly collecting a safety vehicle at Kentucky last year. Add in her overall attitude and I find myself agreeing with Dixon.Quote:

In some ways, she has been extremely lucky, but that may not last forever.
