Danica just grabbed the Pole for the Nationwide Daytona 500! She's got something tougher than balls,a vagina, those can take a pounding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

She's a good driver. Not great, just good. But I don't begrudge her for all the media hype.
Just think of what it took for her to get where she is: first, MOST girls DO NOT grow up wanting to race cars. Out of the miniscule few that might even think about it, the chance of one having a family to support it emotionally AND financially is pretty slim. And even with support, desire, and finances, you STILL have to have enough talent to continue (see Milka Duno, who had desire and money backing but ZERO talent) Since 2010, only about 23 drivers have won the 117 Sprint Cup races, out of over 100+ drivers that have entered. Even Mr. Popular Dale Jr has only won once in a few years... To win in Nascar, you need to be on a top team, have perfect equipment, have talent, and have some luck. Half of all races since 2010 have been won by Hendrick or Joe Gibbs Racing... Deck is stacked against smaller teams winning, especially a rookie driver on a smaller team. Yes, Stewart Haas has won (who Danica races for) but most of those wins have been Tony Stewart, who is one of the top drivers in Nascar. She's better than just about all of us. My only complaint is she left a race series I paid some attention to (IRL) and went to one I care zero about... |
