Yup, with properly spaced cautions (there were 17 of them), the touring princess was able to get back on the lead lap and stay there by driving just fast enough.

When you're really not racing to advance your position, it's easier to avoid wrecking.

Gordon didn't pass her on the final lap?

The sad thing is anyone that scoffs at Frantz filters has no knowledge of the huge advantages they offer over inferior full flow so called filters, the brand makes no difference, not one can filter as well as a Frantz. My 239,000 mile diesel has the same oil in it since 2011 and about 21,000 miles on the same oil that I changed in June 2011, I have no plans of changing the oil in the near future. It's just regular dino oil, not synthetic or a blend.

If anyone chooses to use the crappy factory designed filter (brand matters little they all suck as oil filters) over a bypass filter they're spending money they don't need to and wearing their engine out prematurely, your machine and your choice.

Inferior filtering is what the car makers depend on to wear out the engine prematurely and if you choose to follow the herd of sheeple that don't think for themselves and let the manufacturers and oil companies (who trusts oil companies or car manufacturers to be truthful? not me) set the way they maintain their vehicles.

BTW, Frantz is the only bypass oil filter that was approved by the FAA for use in piston driven aircraft, not something to taken with a grain of salt.

I don't have to sell Frantz filters or T shirts to make a living, more of a hobby that I share with the Pontiac community. It's kind of like the "Touring Princess", a "model" (at least someone thinks she's hot, I don't really know why ) that drives a race car as a hobby........................

I know I can beat her in an equal matched race car, no doubt in my mind. The video where they talk about Kyle Petty saying she can drive a race car, but isn't a race car driver, is so true, and she proves it week after week. Just like a hobby, not a real profession and she's not a real professional either. There is NO drive to win with her, proving as has been said many times she's not doing it to win races, just to fatten her bank account.

After Kyle Petty made the not a race car driver comment, there was a big deal over how dare he tarnish her image with the comments, when his win average wasn't anywhere near his dads record. The "Touring Princess" will never even get close to Kyle's record in NASCAR cup series. The first partial season he ran he finished 28th, most likely where Wanica will finish in her first full season. In his first full year he finished 13th.

Kyle Petty's record in cup competition:

Wins Top tens Poles
8.........173........8

Having a famous father in NASCAR doesn't mean the offspring will inherit the skills the father has, Dale Jr. is a prime example along with a few more sons that have followed their dads lead into NASCAR. No matter how mediocre Kyle's record is Wanica won't come close to it before she exits NASCAR.

This was a true search engine result when using search criteria:
"Danica Patrick automotive filters."

I know this will sadden some here, but no SEXUAL content in this year's GoDaddy commercials.

Quote:
Sex will be seriously sidelined at the upcoming Super Bowl. That, at least, is the decision of the game's traditionally raciest advertiser, GoDaddy, which on Thursday will announce plans to air two spots during the Feb. 2, 2014, game, but without so much as a jiggle, wiggle or double-entendre giggle.

Even #10-Danica Patrick, who will also return for the eighth consecutive year, will no longer be relegated to the role of sex kitten. Both of GoDaddy's Super Bowl spots will be humor-laden with a new brand message - but drop all sexual suggestiveness.

"We have to move on to the next phase," says Barb Rechterman, chief marketing officer. "We polarized some. I understand that. But I'm not ashamed of our past. Now we need to take this brand to a new level."
I can hardly wait....

Courtney - in a much shorter career in motorsports has a much more impressive record.

Here's another race car driver that was comfortable enough with his body to pose nearly in the buff.

Happy Friday Champ!

The move to the more lucrative racing series will add millions to Patrick’s annual earnings, and should put her among the sport’s top earners despite her limited racing resume (Patrick won one IndyCar race). Her $12 million income last year ranks eighth among Nascar drivers.
It always was about money guys get over it.
BTW: I sold Speed Shop equipment for 4 yrs. back East for round dy rounders in the 80's.Many of those guys were dirt bags,IE; 1 guy I visited had his kids sleeping on living room floor while his engine parts were in the 2nd bedroom.
Many, many more had accounts {credit} in house that were never paid.
I give the girl credit for making the best of her talent,which btw most of use would do,given the opportunity.
BTW; I miss Angle to.lol

I won't buy anything she markets - because of her...
