LOL...

I kept the stakes low because I didn't think anyone would want to risk more than that on the racing "talents" of the Touring Princess...

That's why her merchandise at Stewart Haas Racing has been on sale for 25% off for the past week - in the middle of the season.

Usually they wait until the fall for the fire sale's...

Thanks to some well timed cautions, Danica finishes only 1 lap down in 24th place.

Still in 22nd place in the points, but places #23, 24, 25 and 26 all gained ground on the Touring Princess.

Saw this pair of anagrams in the comments section of a story about the Ice Queen whining about her crew chief's inability to set her car up properly for New Hampshire:

Does
Anyone
Notice
I
Crash
Alot

and in reference to her tirade against Jr. from the week before...

Does
Anyone
Notice
I
Cuss
Alot

Newsflash for all the Danica Apologists...

As much as it pains me to post this, it appears Stewart Hass Racing has secured a sponso... I mean sucker to pay for Danica's hobby in 2016:

Quote:
Danica Patrick press conference Tuesday UPDATE Nature's Bakery?:

Stewart-Haas Racing has scheduled a press conference regarding #10-Danica Patrick for Tuesday at 11:00am/et. Fox Sports' Tom Jensen tweeted, "Sources tell @NASCARONFOX she'll have a sponsor who is new to sport" and the "new sponsor could be for as many as 30 races, per sources."
.
The press conference will be live streamed on NASCAR.com.(8-17-2015)

UPDATE: hearing the sponsor could be Nature's Bakery: "on-the-go snacks and foods that complement health conscious living". Patrick teased the paint scheme on her Twitter.(8-17-2015)
I went to their website and quickly learned that their only outlets anywhere near where I live is at WalMart - which probably explains why I've never heard of or seen their products.



I'll stick with Fig Newton's...

Who better to push "fruit" snacks?

I figured the company would be on the left side of the country.

Too bad they couldn't find a "WHINERY" to sponsor her......................

Ripple, MD 20/20 and Boone's Farm were interested, but didn't have the budget...

Not that many more - and this is Tony's WORST year vs. the touring princess' BEST.

Tony still has a chance to make the Chase. Danica, not so much.

In the last 10 races, Tony has finished in front of the Danica 8 times. One of the times she "beat" him was when he had mechanical problems (after running up at the front) and finished last at the Glen.

Tony's season is headed up, while Danica's has been headed south...

Sorry Randy, name recognition doesn't equal money in the bank.

Who has a higher salary and overall makes more money?............

Tony is 4th and the touring princess is 5 positions behind him in 9th.

I hate it for ya!

Ten Highest Earning NASCAR’S Drivers 2015

........................Drivers Salary.... Endorsements
Dale Earnhardt Jr $14.6 Million..... $11 Million
Jimmie Johnson.. $18.5 Million......$6.5 Million
Jeff Gordon....... $13.2 Million........$5 Million
Tony Stewart...... $11.3 Million...... $6 Million
Kyle Busch......... $12.8 Million...... $3 Million
Carl Edwards...... $13 Million......... $1.5 Million
Kevin Harvick..... $12.7 Million...... $1.5 Million
Denny Hamlin..... $12.2 Million...... $1.5 Million
Danica Patrick..... $7 Million.......... $6 Million
Kasey Kahne....... $11.3 Million...... $1.3 Million

Notice the endorsements are even, but the driving talent makes more. TP is the lowest paid of the bunch, there's a reason for that rationale.


Being famous is a matter of opinion.

The site quoted is called "Famous Birthdays" based on how many times the celebrities name is searched on the net. I'm thinking their qualifying for celebrity status may not be the most accurate ways to judge their ranking.

Someone cold be searching for the most overrated driver in NASCAR? Boom touring princess.
How about the woman the Waltrip brothers dream about most? Boom touring princess.

I'm not putting much faith in search numbers on the net, hell most hillbilly NASCAR fans don't even own a kumputter!!!!

No one voted on these selections, it's purely based on search activity according the the site itself. As seen above, search activity doesn't equate to dollars, talent does though...................

Each celebrity profile contains popularity rankings based on user activity
Thanks for playing though.............
