Then why did Gene not put it to the 41 car that he is footing the bill?And I did know that.he could have put it on the 41 and give Nature more TV time on a front runner and put his brand on a mid pack car that does not need TV time.The reason is they would not want to be on Kurts car even thou it's a WINNER!Marketing!Continue being a hater!Tom

Those outside of the Chicago area may not be aware of this, but she's also a spokesperson for Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare. We've been seeing her on TV commercials, billboards, and hearing her ads on the radio for several months now.





Also, from her official bio on their site:

Danica was previously a spokesperson for the Drive4COPD campaign, an effort to promote health screenings for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Danica’s grandmother died of COPD in 2001 at the age of 65.

In 2014, Danica helped launch Aspen Dental’s Healthy Mouth Movement to bring dental care to those who need it most and raise awareness about the importance of oral health throughout the country. The program features the MouthMobile, a fully-equipped dental office on wheels, which travels to communities in Aspen Dental’s 27 states to provide dental care free of charge.

Because Haas wants to put his sponsor $$$'s on a proven winner, past Cup Champion. He wants to be associated with a winner - not an also ran. That's marketing...

Feel free to continue being a Danica apologist...

And in related news, Danica finished 27th last night - 5 laps down.

Her average finish is now 22.2 - just 1.5 positions higher than last seasons 23.7.

Her average in the first 10 races of the season was 18.7. In the last 10 races it has been 24.5.

One would think as she gains experience, she would improve.

[Sidponcho]

She stinks. So far this season she's finished on the lead lap 12 out of 24 starts.
Average start...22.4
Average finish....22.2

.....is just so awesome.



But we know all good things must come to an end.

Pathetic performance on the part of the Gen 6 car!

That was the one Burton lead from start to finish!! This race wasn't that bad but damn close!!!! Remember when they put those huge wicker bills on the roof of the speedway car for a couple of years? Where they were changing leaders every other lap and the pack never separated??? Those races were fun to watch!
