GOOD LORD, LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE

GREETINGS FROM SW OKLAHOMA:

HERE EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT THE DRIVERS WOULD GIVE DANICA A HARD TIME AND TRY TO DRIVE HER OUT OF NASCAR AND BACK TO THE INDY STUFF. BUT NO, THE DAMN MEDIA IS GOING TO RAM HER DOWN OUR NECKS TO THE POINT THAT THE FANS PUSH, SHOVE AND KICK HER OUT OF NASCAR.


I AM HOPING THAT SHE DOES WELL AND MAKES IT IN THE REAL RACING WORLD, BUT CRAP, WHO CARES IF SHE FINISHED 31ST. ANY OTHER DRIVER IN THE FIELD THAT FINISHES 31 DOESN'T EVEN GET A SECOND THOUGHT MUCH LESS A DUO HEADLINE WITH THE RACE WINNER.

YES SHE FINISHED THE RACE, YES SHE FINISHED HIGHER THEN SHE STARTED, AND YES SHE FINISHED HIGHER THEN THE OTHER OPEN WHEEL GUYS DID IN THIER FIRST RACE IN SOUTHERN CALF. BUT THEN THEY KEPT TELLING US ALL DAY ALL SHE WAS DOING WAS MAKES LAPS AND TRYING TO LEARN.


I'M NOT GONNA TRY TO REWATCH THE RACE TO CHECK BUT WOULD ALMOST BET THAT THE DRIVER WHO FINISHED 30TH NEVER GOT HIS NAME MENTIONED ALL DAY LONG AFTER DRIVER INTROS. AND I BET HE WORKED JUST AS HARD AS SHE DID.

IF THE MEDIA DOESN'T GET OFF HER BUTT AND ALLOW HER TO LEARN, MAKE MISTAKES, AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS, THE FANS AND DRIVERS WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DANICA FOR LONG, SHE WILL GO THE WAY OR ERIN CROCKER AND SO MANY OTHER WOMEN WHO HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT IN NASCAR, INTO THE SUNSET WITHOUT LEAVING A MARK ON THE TRACK ANYWHERE.

THAT'S MY OPINION - WHAT'S YOURS

    Gunny:

    It is all about exposure and being a drawing card. If you look up her photo shoots you will get my drift.

    I thought that Dario, Sam and Juan all finished in the 20's when they raced in the NW series at Fontana for the first time?

    Kyle Petty said it best: She's a marketing gimmick. Anyone notice that after the race, she stomped off pouting without talking to the media? If Danica does that, its ok. The media makes excuses for her. If Kyle Busch does it, then he's just a whiny crybaby.

    STEVE:

    YOUR TOTALLY RIGHT CAUSE I HAVE SAID THAT ABOUT KYLE MYSELF. BUT SHE DID COME BACK ABOUT 10 OR 15 MINUTES LATER AND TALK TO THE MEDIA, SO WHILE IT IS THE SAME IT AIN'T EXACTLY THE SAME.

    The media presence around her is ridiculous...but know it actually could be worse if her PR person was any good...apparently she turned down LIVE ESPN interview on Nascar Now and Sportscenter for Danica b/c they didnt get their request in 10 days ago...ah...apparently they dont need the coverage but that isnt really the way you do it.

    Danica seemed scrappy wanting to race/learn and I think the attention is getting to her even.

    Its not exactly the same? How?

    Yes, Kyle Busch acts like a kid, but he does come back and give interviews, and unlike some drivers (including Danica) he has results to back up the media attention.

    Did anyone even notice that last weeks Nationwide race at Daytona had 2 female drivers?

    STEVE:

    THE TWO INCIDENTS THAT I KNEW ABOUT WITH KYLE HE DIDN'T GIVE THE INTERVIEWS, HE JSUT LEFT THE TRACK AND ACCORDING TO THE NEWS LINE DANICA DID GIVE AN INTERVIUEW ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER SHE SRORMED OFF AND I HAVE KNOW N OF TONY STEWART DOING THE SAME THING.

    AND YES I DID KNOW THAT HERE WAS ANOTHER GIRL IN THE RACE BOTH WEEKENDS, FACT IS I THINK THERE WERE 4 IN THE ARCA RACE BUT I AM NOT POSITIVE.

    I heard she only came out since the crew from the hauler next to hers (was it the 66?) asked Danica's crew to get her out so they could leave, lol
