Without posing and acting in commercials in a provocative manner, Danica would never have been able to get a Cup ride.
Name me one other current Cup driver that had a grand total of 1 win in their entire automobile racing career before their first Cup start...
There are some guys racing Cup that aren't great drivers now - and may never win a Cup race - but they've won more than 1 race in their while EARNING the right to get a full time Cup ride.
The current Cup driver that has run each race this season is 35th in the points. Alex Bowman, not a name that really demands attention, is just 21 years old.
In 2012, he was the ARCA "Rookie of the Year" and won 4 races.
In 2011, in only 2 starts in the ARCA series, he won both races. The same year he was the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Rookie of the Year.
In 2009 he was the USAC National Midget Championship Rookie of the Year and won "DMS Driver Challenge" in a midget.
In 2008 he was the USAC National Focus Midget champion, California Dirt Focus Midget champion with 11 USAC Focus wins.
Bowman gets a 3rd or 4th tier ride with his racing resume and Danica gets a 1st tier ride - and she wants us to believe that she "was never handed anything as she climbed the motor sports ladder"???
That's a good one....
