Danica has only 1 top 10 finish (8th) - and that was only because 2 late race cautions allowed her to (1) get back on the lead lap and (2) pit and take tires with no loss of position. Danica's average finish this year is 20.9...
Danica isn't good enough to carry Sam's jock - and I'm NOT trying to say that Sam is the greatest driver in NASCAR...

BFD! He's crashed his share of cars, whether it was his fault or not. He's not Danica and he's not a hugely popular driver, so NASCAR doesn't really care what happened. It adds some spice to the 'show' and that's what NASCAR is desperately looking for. Add that to the fact he was perceived by some as picking on 'our girl' and there you have it: No action by NASCAR.
