They don't like running behind her. But she's getting better.
She has a top notch ride now, so if she's going to prove anything, it will be this year. There are a lot of other guys that had success but were traded away, now driving inferior cars. David Reutemann and David Ragan are two that come to mind. But Danica brings in the bucks, and that's why Tony Stewart wanted her on his team. If she wins a race, all the more for Tony and the team.
But I don't believe for a MINUTE that Stewart feels he has the best driver he could get for his team. He just got the most marketable.

Tony wanted to expand to 3 teams for 2013. With sponsor dollars hard to come by, "Wanica" as Sirrotica posted, offered the best opportunity. Go Daddy has a virtual blank check for her for the time being. As long as she continues with the sexy ads and bikini images, Go Daddy's hooked.
When she stops posing - that well will run dry, she'll lose her ride and a more deserving driver will get an opportunity.
