I Heard Nascar Isn't Allowing Danica Patrick To Enter Nascar Because Of Some Reason. She Would Be Great As Robby's Teammate Next Year, Just Give Her A Shot She How She Does. I Mean U Never Know What Might Happen. I Belive She Can Handle It.
Perhaps if someone like Lyn St. James had broken this barrier in the 90's, there would be no need for this kind of a thread. Danica, Milka and Sarah should all be respected for what they have accomplished in the racing world. How many of us here can say we have raced in the Indy 500?? I think people get ticked over Danica as she is known more for her 'non-racing' activities than her racing accomplishments. It comes off to women as demeaning as she really doesn't need all these 'public antics' to show she can drive a race car. In other words, let her resume', not her boobs, get her a place in racing history!
Good post Sarah. I dont know why people ride her, no pun intended. She just finished 3rd in the 500, and darn near won the thing last year. I cant say the same for Milka, at least not yet. If she played basketball, I bet she would be good on defense, since she blocks everything.
I agree that it would be nice if she was taken more seriously for her racing career, but it is not up to the public to let her resume speak louder than whatever else she does, as she has made her own image of her own choosing. I have a lot of respect for women that truly break barriers, but have no respect when they stoop to the lowest common denomenator. It always seems to diminish/overshadow what they have actually accomplished.
Danica is a great driver, and she's smokin' hot. Many female race fans (and wimpy husbands and bf's) are jealous of the 'smokin' hot' part of what she has going on, so they trash talk her driving too. Her hotness is demeaning? Not in this part of the country! Let's see, who do fans want to see, Michael Waltrip or Danica Patrick.... Jeff Gordon or Danica Patrick.... Dale Jr or Danica Patrick..... DUH!
