Thanks Harv....only issue I'm having is that I gotta work this weekend, which means I was really counting on my DVR....

And of course here at work I can't pull up anything of any entertainment value (it's an honest to God wonder that I can pull up these forums from here, I better type quietly tho, the IT Nazi's will find me on here and it will be light's out for sure) :

The thing is, Dani isn't even doing a full season in N'Wide is she?

I could understand the furore around her arrival if she was either A) the IndyCar champion, or B) doing the whole season in a top car.

She's a decent driver, but there are a heck of a lot of male 'decent' drivers who never get mentioned by anyone, so why should she? Obviously it's a great marketing tool and a good inspiration to a lot of young girls no doubt, but like it was said above, she's not even as good as many other female drivers who have competed in NASCAR series'.

I feel sorry for the other drivers to be honest. At least Michael Schumacher's constant press coverage on his return is warranted, given his history in the sport.

I don't think the other guys would mind if she got a bit of attention, after all it is a cool thing to have a competitive woman in Nationwide again, but it's the over-the-top seemingly round the clock coverage of Dani that annoys them and a lot of us.

Dang....a whole day without a Danica comment....
What's the world coming to?

[slorydn1]

Looking at the finishing order from Brazil it seems Danica finished p15 which would equate to a p27 finish in a Nationwide race (62.5 % of the field finished better than her)....Since I couldn't watch the race, I wouldn't know why, so is someone able to fill me in before I make a "more of the same" comment?

she tried to brave out the weather running one more lap on slicks when it was downpouring, she spun out and crashed instantly she got back to th pits, put a new front wing, and rain tires, and spun out again under caution

and then she was a moving chicane as she was the last to pit for slicks when the race got back under way, lets just say Simona and Ana both kicked Danica's ass that race, and Simona actually led the race and was able to hang with the big dogs until something went wrong with her car and she went 3 laps down

JR Motorsports announced yesterday that they're trying to get sponsorship for the #7 for the Nationwide races that DP will not be in. They've suddenly decided they want to run the car all year, and Scott Wimmer will be running the #7 at Bristol and Nashville. It seems to me, IMHO ONLY, that JR Motorsports might be seeing the light that, left to her own devices, there's a very good chance DP could not, and would not, make the field on time at her next races (she would not have guaranteed starts like at the beginning of the year.). Since she's the "cash cow" for them this year, they have to get the car guaranteed one way or the other. But, the interesting thing is, from the tone of the announcement, Go-Daddy won't sponsor it for the year, just for the DP races.

I'm wondering if Dale, Jr. and Kelly are rethinking this whole situation now? Sounds like JR Motorsports might have gotten themselves between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Too late now, though. And, on the other hand, they might be thrilled about the whole situation anyway.

These are just my ramblings and food for thought about JR Motorsports' announcement.
