she wasn't put there to win ,she was put in racing to draw more women to watch racing and for men to use as eye candy,I am sure there are other woman that can race better than her,but they may be rough looking

NASCAR has had plenty of women that are fans for decades. I've been attending NASCAR races with my wife and daughter for over 20 years and neither one of them give two hoots about Iwanica because they both know that she doesn't belong there.

My wife and daughter were with me when Shawna Robinson became the first female to qualify on the pole in NASCAR history back in 1994 in Atlanta. If Shawna would have had the quality of equiment that Iwanica has, she would have been a serious contender.

If you go to a race in person - you will see that the crowd has a lot of couples and families. Probably a higher percentage of females at a NASCAR race than at a ball game.

The other females that have raced in NASCAR were not "rough" looking and had more talent than Iwanica. What they didn't have was the financial backing that Iwanica has because they didn't constantly pose seductively for anyone with a camera.

As expected, the Ice Princess was the last car that wasn't involved in a wreck to finish the race - 28th...

Which is the same place in the standings that she now holds...

Of course, A.J. Allmendinger is within 5 points of her, but has only had a ride for 2 races (Phoenix and Bristol)...

And YES - WHERE ARE ALL OF THE PY DANICANT APPOLOGIST NOW?!!!

Again, were are the APPOLOGIST NOW?!!! Saving up and praying she wins a road race? Then - IF SHE WINS - chime in about how much talent she has for a single win? Wait for it, it's coming...

I suggest we keep this thread going for the season to track her actual performance, wins v losses, etc.

I'm in...

But to be fair - it's not wins vs losses.

I think it should be top 10's vs 20th or worse. With the equipment that she is being provided and the years of experience that she has, a decent race car driver (male or female) should be able to finish routinely in the top 20.

So Iwanica's current stat chart is:

1 top 10, no finishes between 11 - 20, 3 finishes below 20 - currently in 28th place

Her main squeeze, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., is also competing for Cup Rookie of the Year. He has less racing experience than Iwanica, but look at his results:

no top 10's, 4 finishes between 11 - 20, no finishes below 20 - currently 11th in the points (which would put him in the Chase if the season ended today)

Both drivers have similar equipment. The difference is driving talent. One has earned a Cup ride, the other hasn't.

Who's got a grand to gamble on her winning a Cup race this year? Anyone? Anyone?

I'm with you fellas!

Need to bring this back to the main page...

Everyone can now vote for the Sprint All Start Race in May:

The eligibility criteria for the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race remain the same:

· Drivers who have won NASCAR Sprint Cup races in the current and preceding year. If a driver leaves a team with which he has won a race, he or she remains eligible (through the last race before the all-star race), however, the team does not

· Drivers who are past NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race winners in the past 10 years

· Drivers who are past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions in the last 10 years

· The top two finishers in the Sprint Showdown, the 40-lap race that precedes the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race

· The top Sprint Fan Vote driver who finishes on the lead lap of the Showdown and whose car is in "raceable" condition as determined by the series director

This is Iwanica's only chance to get in the All Star Race, so all you Iwanica apologists better get busy voting... It probably won't make any difference if she gets voted in because of the stipulation that she has to finish on the lead lap.

FWIW - I voted for he main squeeze - Rickey Stenhouse Jr. He's earned the opportunity by being in the Top 12 - which would have him in the Chase if he can keep it up.

You can vote by using the NASCAR Mobile '13 application or online at NASCAR.COM. Votes cast from the NASCAR Mobile '13 application count double. I think they want you to get the NASCAR app...

Nascar will make sure she is in the race for TV exposure.

I might actually watch if she is NOT in the race.

you would still hear the Waltrips say how she should have been in the race. MUTE or listen to PRN with Eli.

Others have posted here the lack of fans in the stands at various races...contrary to that one would be led to believe the media's "Saint Danica" hype that she will save NASCAR...but then crickets during the last race where her performance was less than "Saint like".

NASCAR, Waltrips, ESPN, SPEED/FOX need to take the clue that the fans whose money pays for all are much more sophisticated and simply vote with their feet when the hype proves to be no more than hot air again & again...

I really don't know where or when next race is...unless a high bank or road course I'm probably not interested...and if I hear one more time about how great a 20th place or worse driver is...

It's California this weekend.

Maybe Iwanica can create some excitement by wearing a bikini at the track...

[Alvin]

Oh, that's right. Is it at the Laguna Seca roadcourse where she is "supposed to win"?

Let's see.

[67_Krewzer]

It's at Fontana, kinda like those "D" shaped cookie cutter tracks but its 2 miles.
