Yeah, yeah, you guys give her "crap" now but wait until we get back on the ovals and she dominates them. Expect her in the top 5 at every oval track this year. :)

It's all well and good being fast on the ovals, but this is a 17 RACE season, of which only 8 are ovals. There are 9 road/street courses, so if she is really serious about winning and challenging for championships in IndyCar then she has to be fast on ovals and fast on road/street courses as well. Personally, I hope she stays away from NASCAR and sticks with IndyCar, but I fear that she'll eventually go NASCAR full-time because they only have 2 road courses in a 35-race season and she's already commented on how more and more road/street courses have filled up the IndyCar calender. She prefers the wheel to wheel of oval racing, so NASCAR, probably, awaits.
You are right on all accounts but the problem is she sucks in NASCAR too! She hasn't ever been really competitive at any professional level. NASCAR is as high of level as it gets in US auto racing right at the moment and the charade will end there a little quicker. I called it 2 years ago and the crumbs are starting to fall on the floor...the circus is slowly grinding to a halt for her. She WILL go to NASCAR full-time, it is the only way to extend the inevitable.Quote:

It will be interesting to see how much ABC yaps about her tomorrow especially if Simona does well.

Without regard to Danica in anyway...It is really really hard not to be impressed with Simona so far. HVM is not the strongest team out there and they're only a 1 car team. Viso and Doornbos neither one were this competitive last year. All credit to her an HVM. They'll struggle on the ovals as would be expected but to me they are kind of the Dale Coyne story this year. Rooting for them to stay solid.
And yes, obviously she is the real deal.
In the first group, which would be expected to be slower, three drivers went faster than Simona, so it's not like the girl hit it out of the park here. Based on times she's 17th. You should re-register as Simona Fan, as it's just as ridiculous to make her the hero here as making Danica the hero.
I'm confused how the women seem to develop this deep devotion.
I'm even more confused on why Matos did so poorly.
I don't think pointing out that she is helping a sub-par team perform over their expectation level is making her a hero.Quote:
