Joe Nemechek got the nickname "Front Row Joe" because of his qualifying efforts in 1999. What was his average finish starting from the pole? 28th... 
My issue with Danica is the fact she is stealing a ride from a more qualified driver. She's been racing cars since she was a teenager and has only won a single race. She's never won a championship while racing cars in any division.
If it weren't for Go Daddy pimpin' her out, she wouldn't have a ride.
As already posted, her career average finish in Cup is 28th.
In Nationwide her career average finish is 21.4. Her rookie season it was 28th, her second season was 17.4 and last year was 18.8.
What has she done to "earn" a Cup ride? |
Sums Danica up.
NASCAR has boosted interest in the 500 and poured millions into the bank account by putting her on the pole. That helps the whole "sport" or more specifically NASCAR's bank account.
