This happened last year when Danica won the pole for the Nationwide Daytona race. They had the SpeedTV crew talking about the upcoming Daytona 500 that would occur the next day, and they kept cutting away to get Danica's thoughts, live from the pits. They acted like she was Richard Petty, wanting to get her insights as to the track conditions, and what it was like to run at Daytona.

Rusty Wallace had to really swallow his pride as he asked Danica what the best groove was to run. That's like having Bono from U2 asking some front man from a newbie band what's it's like to be in front of a big crowd.

Typical media overhype, that's all.

As for Milka and Danica, this was a classic clip from 2008.

Yup that's the one I was thinking of. Having watched the race what they don't show is Dani walking th full length of pit road in a huff. she started out walking down the pavement car driven side of pit road, was forced to go behind he wall by track security she only complied when they told her she would have to leave the track if she didn't get behind pit wall for her safety.

my money would be on Milka for a one on one wrestle match. listen carefully and you will hear Milka say to Dani "you want camera, you want a show". Milka knows the media hype & BS regarding Dani...

Milka will end up in NASCAR if she can make speed, she's in ARCA now and will go where ever Danica goes.
For hype NASCAR would like it, but Milka had very serious issues in IRL, maybe running a full bodied car will help.
It's taken a lot for Danica to get accepted and she did good, not sure they'd put up with Milka's old IRL antics at all.

That would be a good thing...they could fight between themselves and take each other out of the race again...so the focus could revert back to the REAL RACE!

who was it that won the 500 again - Jimmy who?!!!

Anyone else think that when douch bag Johnson won, and spun through the infield and damaged his car he was trying to cover something up like at dega when knaus came on the radio and told him to tear it up after he won.

I think it's b.s how much fox and the media droll on about danica, especially when she raced in the busch series, they would constantly talk about her running in 24th, 28th, etc and would hardly cover the action up front, and it was b.s. going on about her in neurmous races last year running 28th or 30th and finish there, when there were 1 or 2 other chicks in the race who would finish 18th or 22nd, or anywhere ahead of her and they wouldn't say **** about them.

That was the FIRST thing I said too!!! I'm not sure why NASCAR doesn't fine them for that, or tell drivers that if you do this again, you run the risk of having your victory taken away, or points stripped.

Not that Jimmie doesn't deserve the win. He's a phenomenal driver, one of the best ever.

But NASCAR needs to stop this now or we'll see the winner of every race wreck his own front end, or do a donut and tag the wall to screw up his rear spoiler, to avoid a post-race inspection to catch an illegal wing or front end ride height.

I seem to recall Austin Dillon had an illegal front end (too low) in a Nationwide race last year. His car was visibly lower in front that the other cars, and he won the race easily. They stripped some points, but he kept the victory.

Johnson did stop short of touching the nose to the wall for a burnout. I didn't see anything extraordinary about any of the cars out there, other than the fastest car finishing 8th.

[hurryinhoosier62]

She wasn't the fastest, but was within a couple of hundreths( Yes, I timed them while at the race).

[63Banshee]

She was "half throttle all day." She should grow some balls, get a run on 2nd place car and drop to the inside when cars quicker than the 2 directly in front of her are making a move with a few laps to go. Wouldn’t be surprised if Stewart was thinking the same thing.

[hurryinhoosier62]

Brad,

Bud(an old friend of mine) was a mechanic at IMS from the late 40s to the early 80s. He could tell you stories about Foyt most people wouldn't believe(puncturing a tire with a screwdriver is one). Bud liked A.J., but thought his behavior was beyond the pale. He also said that Bobby Unser got his ass kicked by a fan when Unser tried to start a fight
because he(Unser) didn't like what the fan had to say about Unser's driving. I can see that happening to "Smoke".

[hurryinhoosier62]

I told my wife (she went to the race) that the "boys" could see "something" on a non-restrictor plate track. Phoenix is next.

Simply said, there's way too much attention given to Danica.

10 pages of posts just proves how good she is for the sport!The race winner would not get one page!LOL,Tom

truth
lol

The better Danica does - the better NASCAR will do.
Pastrana will be the next wave if all goes well.
the future is bright , right now

Mika is a loose cannon and would make Pablo's first years look almost harmless.
They'll put her through at least 5-6-7 years of ladder climbing before they will give her any serious considerations in cup level. if ever

Here, I found an auto related gig Danica is qualified for. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0e2_1361777236

Why isn't he worried about the gray car that appears to have it's front bumper against his car??

The hood and the trunk lid were still exposed

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

The hood and trunk are bolt on replacements in severe hail damage.
The roof gets repaired with filler since its not a bolt on.
Guess he wanted to minimize the amount of plastic going into his roof.

Thats subjective to degree of damage.
But in majority of cases thats how it works out in the end.
Some roofs can be repaired with PDR - some with major/massive damage would need cut/replacement.

The guy has probably been through hail damage repair in the past.
...but that was pretty crazy

[63Banshee]

Her or another piece of ass. I'm just asking for POA with guts... and boobs. Regardless, this follow the leader crap isn't worth watching.

agreed. Milka Got Jugs!

[63Banshee]

She's an average chick model wannabe who doesn't stand a chance at modeling without racing hype and she doesn't care as much about racing as she does modeling. She's not going to grow balls (figuratively) or boobs (literally), so she's screwed either way. Yet the sheeple buy into the BS and she banks.

... Just noticed others said similar. Great minds think alike.
