And that would be your own opinion. Some people like to believe all the hype.
Danica didn't race yesterday, she played a game of follow the leader.
When it came time to race, she either didn't have the talent or the courage to race (I'm thinking she didn't have either).
As already noted - she said she was afraid if she made a move that she'd be hung out to dry... It's her own fault that she failed to finish 3rd or better.
If she had actually raced last Thursday and built some confidence in her own abilities and proved to the other drivers that she could draft she might have had a different result.
Jr. was right there - a fellow Chevy driver - to push her if she had the guts to go.
Jr. is her car owner in the Nationwide Series - you know he would have helped her. It would have made him money by being able to cash in on her success when negotiating future sponsorship deals.
Jr. got tired of waiting for the Princess to go and went by himself. He finished 2nd and Wanica finished 8th.
