The Ice Princess will be starting 29th again today. Her average finish in New Hampshire is 32nd.

I've said it before - she may not even have a ride next year if godaddy decides to pull the plug on her 3 year deal. They could tell Tony that they need a competent driver in the godaddy car to complete the deal with SHR...

Yup; just like the Herp it's "That gift that keep giving!"
Especially now that to some "rocket-scientists" equated NASCAR with "road racing"

Better bet on her this weekend. She's at 300;1 odds.

It would be a nice return on a $10 bet IF she were to win (possible, NOT probable).

Is anyone else going to be on the track? If not, those aren't good enough odds.

14th fastest in Happy Hour on a track where she has more experience than anyone else in the race. Well, maybe Juan Pablo Montoya (nearly 1.5 MPH faster) has more experience (not sure - but he might), but then he hasn't been running a Cup car regularly this year.

FWIW - according to LVH SuperBook odds - The Touring Princess is 500-1. Montoya is 20-1. Her main squeeze Ricky Jr. is 300-1...

Hopefully they have a rev limiter on the car?

She had it floored, smoking the hell out of one tire, and couldn't figure out why she wasn't moving?

She may know how to drive a well prepared car fast, but she's not a race car driver...

Did you notice after her crew explained things to her that she was able to actually drive the car back to the garage?

And if Go Daddy wasn't her primary sponsor she probably wouldn't be in quality Sprint Cup ride and maybe not even Nationwide but for a few races.

Once Go Daddy dumps her, she's done in Cup. No other big time sponsor will touch her because they are going to want a quality driver. No small team will want her unless she can bring a big time sponsor with her - because she wrecks too much equipment that needs to be paid for by someone.

Danica ran Nationwide on a Sprint Car budget and wasn't competitive. With a smaller budget (no Go Daddy) she wouldn't stand a chance.

I don't think many of you here would continue to hold the pedal down, with smoke rolling out the back of the car, while going no where. Almost anyone with any racing experience knows when something isn't right, and to back off to asses the situation.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
