No return on investment, unless you want your company name on a solid 27th place car, or want your logo seen as it's going off track on a wrecker.

I guess when the car gets hauled off slowly you get more sponsor exposure as the cars not at speed, and you get to see it longer.................

Next to pull out will be SHR, her contract is up this year. No money, no ride. If she gets a ride in a 3rd tier car she'll look even worse not having top shelf equipment and crew each week.

She should get a ride back in an Indy car.

Lets see how quickly Tony turns his back on her once the money tree is gone.

I'm really tired of Darrell falling all over himself trying to defend/compliment her. Like Sunday when she drove into Casey and Darrell called it the other way around.

F1?

Does anybody really watch that?

I've been to the Grand Prix of Germany - most boring live racing event I've ever been to.

No need to watch it on TV.

F1 would love to have half the viewership that NASCAR has.

When it comes to Formula One versus NASCAR, you can be as rude as you like about the other side. Many people are - and you know what they say...

It's amazing how much misinformation the author was able to put into one article...

Kyle is one to talk!

Go Daddy is a publicly traded company now - they have stock holders to report to.

Kyle may not have been a mirror image of his father's success, he however has been around racing and NASCAR all of his life and he fully knows what every other race driver does, Danica sucks as a race car driver.

He did win a few races during his career, something the touring princess won't be able to do, especially without prime equipment. Kyle won 8 races in 9 years and finished a best 5th in the championship standings. The touring princess is 3 years without better than a 6th place finish and 27th and 28 in points, big difference.

The touring princess is never going to be a success in NASCAR or any other top racing venue because she is not a "racer". She is so easily distracted during a race and gets all flustered on the radio.

Her feedback to the crew chief about the car sucks. She knows less about a race car than most females do. If you don't know what the car is doing, and have some idea of what it takes to correct it, the crew chief is lost on what to do to it to make it better without real feedback.

The Waldrip drooling brothers don't have the backbone to call a spade a spade. They both make me sick. Fawning all over her and fail to put blame where blame is due when she screws up.

It's all been said before over and over and nothing changes, except the big dollars are going away at the end of the season. Aspen Dental and TaxSlayer aren't going to step up and pay the Go danny tab.

Go Daddy got new management and at that time said they were exploring moving advertising to attract more outside the US.They are in negotiations with her for a personal service contract.As Boss said they are public now(bet she got a TON)and wanted to change their TV image.Tom

[David Holmberg]

"Come to Go Daddy, we're mid pack"

Not the message I'd be sending if I were in charge.

When im driving I listen to Dave Moody at noon time on NASCAR radio.He gets calls all the time complaining about people calling and are pissed because people call about Danica.His answer is,and you called WHY?106 pages,41000 views on this site!She sells more of her stuff than ANY other driver than JR!Looks and sounds like she is getting enough attention for a new sponsor.Tom

OK - So you disapprove of "106 pages,41000 views on this site!", really? Perhaps exercising the freewill option to seek comfort elsewhere & other threads would provide satisfaction?

So your point is - with all of that 'talent' - she should run for president, right?

For years it's been a superstition that green is a bad luck omen on race cars, anyone besides me notice she does better when her car isn't green? Same with Junior when he picked up other sponsors beside Mt Dew and his car was other than green he seemed to Dew better.......................LOL

Yes, I do believe green is a bad luck color on a race car. My 69 GP dirt car was white when I got it from the wrecking yard. They painted the door jambs and did a good job of color changing it. I was so damn mad when I started tearing it down and found out it was originally a Verdoro green car. In 3 years I only won 1 race with that car and blew too many engines to count. Compared to my 67 GTO in my signature that I won 13 races within 2 years.

I've owned other green street cars that were also incredibly unlucky, I will never buy one any longer, no matter how good a deal it is. NO more green cars in my driveway.

I started to say "...it seemed to work out ok for Jimmy Clark..." and then I decided maybe not.

NASCAR is not about racing, it's entertainment and money. If she continues to bring in money from sponsors and merchandise, she will have a place in motorsports entertainment.

Absolutely spot on.
Used to be a race might be entertaining, might not, it's racing and you never knew how one would unfold.
Now, it's got to be entertaining no matter what it does to the racing.

Wanna watch some real racing? Watch the IMSA/Tudor series.

FWIW, this thread isn't all about the touring princess, it's become a NASCAR thread same as the SD thread and the HO thread. For some reason anything NASCAR or oval track gets a pass on this thread. Lots of other things have been discussed here besides the lame female driver's lack of accomplishments.

Maybe time for a real forum section about racing, other than drag racing. There are other forms of racing some people enjoy other than drag racing.
