Keith so far everyone has kept the discussion clean. Its OK to disagree and debate but once it gets to name calling I have to step in.

If this went to the clubhouse it would end up with the same 5 members posting the same crap back and forth.

Go Daddy, and take Danica with you...

She sucks in the Lobby. She sucks in the Clubhouse. She sucks where ever she goes.

She would probably stop sucking if one was to marry her.

[63Banshee]

I hear they all do. Hence me never being married...

I'd like to know what "slipped by" tech inspection at Daytona. 1 pole, 1 top 10, ave start 31st, ave finish 26th. Not to mention average laps down and average mph off leader pace. Something just isn't adding up.

[The Champ]

The touring queen qualified 39th and in typical fashion (even though this was her 4th trip to Dover), didn't take long to go multiple laps down after she failed to hold her line and ran into the side David Stremme's car. She tore up his left rear quarter panel - but she evidently got the worst of it.

She then "soldiered" on ultimately finishing 4 laps down in 24th position.

She was the beneficiary of 3 Toyota's having there engines blow up, another Toyota (Denny Hamlin) losing a right front tire in the corner, Jamie McMurray losing a radiator and her teammate Ryan Newman getting into a pushing match with David Gilliland that knocked both cars out of the race.

Meanwhile, at the front of the pack, the race was won by Tony Stewart! Which if the season ended today (which it doesn't) would put him in the Chase with a wild card.

Tony climbed 4 places in the points with the victory.

Danica gained 1 spot too (due to David Gilliland being knocked out of the race by her teammate) and now sits in 29th spot.

Lets just hope she doesn't move over to drag racing

She wouldn't get prima donna status since she wouldn't be the only woman racing.

She would probably still be last, unless Shumacher picked her up.
(which wouldn't happen)

Question: If she did move to dragracing; do you think she would have to start in PS Motorcycle or Comp 1st or get that bump to TF right away?

Anyone else notice how empty those Monster Mile spectator seats were? Yikes!

Would have to be pro stock or slower. No way is she going over 300.

She got down 3 laps early with a severly ill handling car, it was fairly obvious she didn't know what to do with it, the car finally decided.
Once they got the car worked on she pretty much held her own to finish a respectable 24th, I'd say that was a good job of communication between her and the crew.

Only lost one more lap the rest of the way, as fast as cars were getting lapped that's not bad.
I still think she'll be in the top 25 points at the end, barring something weird. She'll have a few good runs and crash out a few. Typical rookie season.

[63Banshee]

Dude, she has a boyfriend already...

I would say she wouldn't be in the Pro categories unless she comes with a big dollar sponsor.

Then it would have to be on her own 'team', most of the high dollar ones already have a full team.
(Force, Shumacher, Al-Anabi, etc)

With Enders being possibly/probably out of Pro Stock with no sponsor, it would be hard to get something, that Enders wouldn't get first.

Don't know if Go Daddy would pay that much to get a team together just for her?

[johnta1]

Also, if she started in an Alcohol class or even lower, she wouldn't get the TV exposure she would be used to.
She'd be relegated to the back half of ND or worse probably.

[David Holmberg]

Maybe if Danica raced in Super Stock we'd get to see that class on TV?

It might be worth it.

[David Jones]

You could sub in a dark headed 14 year old and nobody would be the wiser. Probably be more competitive too.

It wasn't "severely ill handling" until she ran into David Stremme's left rear quarter. She thought she had a tire go down and pitted, when she came out, she was 3 lap down. After that her "ill handling" was gone...

The rest of the race she varied between 2 and 6 laps down. She took the wave around a couple of times to gain a 2 of the laps back to finish "only" 4 laps down.

I still think she'll be in the top 25 points at the end, barring something weird.

Denny Hamlin missed 4 races, had a replacement driver for another after he started the race and then wrecked yesterday. He's ahead of Danica in the points.

Most likely it will take a lot of weird things happening for her to move up to 25th. She's only ahead of 5 drivers that have been in all 13 races, and all of them run on severely limited budgets vs. Danica having some of the best cars and crews available.
