I like Danica. I'm not one of the Danica haters.
The only thing she needs work on now is her pit stops. She's already proven she can drive on a road course, which to me is far more impressive than being able to drive at a superspeedway. Road courses take talent, skill, and timing. Superspeedways take patience, a good car, and a drafting partner.
Yes, as pointed out by Champ, she has 15 years in professional racing, and 1 win.
Yes, that's overrated, and that deserves to be pointed out.
But she's good for the sport now, and I for one like seeing her out there. It's just business, and NASCAR is making her their golden child right now.
I still think she'll win a race this year.
And before we criticize her TOO much on her record....
Bobby Labonte hasn't won in 10 years, yet he still gets a ride every year.
Juan Pablo Montoya is one of the best drivers in the world, but in 6 years of racing NASCAR with a top notch team, he has 1 win.
