Danica Patrick

[bubba]

This gets back to my earlier post that the sizes of the male drivers in the series aint much bigger than Danica to begin with. I think she might have whooped Briscoe's arse. Either way, if I ever see her on the road, you can bet I will swerve into her hoping she chases me down and starts whoopin on me!

I like how you think.....

Good point Bubba......lol

How bout this.....hopefully one day Danica and Sarah will bump wing pods in the line for media day photos and then we can all see a live and televised CATFIGHT! They can get that pit road reporter from NAPPYCAR to try and break em' up.....mmmrrroooowwww!

(as the NBC executives all start wet-dreaming about the ratings jump.......)


admit it....yer all startin to drool.....depraved minds thinkin about tearaway firesuits.....nomex bikinis......

Sorry haudfan, it was a joke, looking back now it probably doesnt look that way but it was funny in my head when I wrote it.

I just dont think Danica (and even I dont think she has the credentials to be there) had any time to react to what was happening. its not like he was coming out at the rate at which my mini stock accelerates (which is about the speed of my grandma walking to get the paper) and hit her across the nose wing. He came out in a car that will make you wet your self with acceleration and ran into the side of her. You could tell he knew he punched the gun a bit too hard when he snatched it back to the left. I never said she had been an angel with her driving but it is easy to understand her frustration.

That being said I still think that Kanaan gets the biggest Douche of the race award.

Hey Ovalracer44

And heres to the 'DOUCHE' (bag). It don't take 'macho' to drive one of those open wheels, just a lot of guts........and I think she has them.
There are 2 other women in the race but they seldom do as good as Danica does. Give her credit for that anyway.

yo ocala

What is Kanaans deal anyways? Marco gave him enough room for Dale Jarrett to race the UPS truck up the middle between them. Marco should go slap Kanaan in the mouth for being a tampon. If those cars are some unstable that you can not pass so low you are almost on the apron and the car that is 2 lanes above you spins out, its no wonder those races are like watching the grass grow.

OJ- I think Fisher wins in two out of three falls. She's stockier than Patrick...

Ovalracer- I was originally going to respond that the steering wheel next to the stuffed animal crane was harder than the one next to the skeeball. After seeing a replay again last night, Briscoe spun the tires after he was on pit lane out. She had a right to be mad. However, just because she's Danica doesn't make it right for her to go storming down to somebody's pit everytime she's unhappy. She better be careful somebody "OLD SCHOOL" doesn't dot her eye.

If Fisher had Patrick's resources at AGR she'd be the favored one. I know Fisher can drive. Seen her at Volusia and Eldora in a 410 sprint car. But would Danica jump in that same 410 sprint car?

maybe next year someone could get katherine legg to drive their car.she could do any worse than milka duno.at least she won some races in atlantics(?),duno won rolex races co-driving with andy wallace.

You would try to knock a 5' tall, 100 Lb. woman on her butt. Yep, that takes a real man.

she's playing a man's game by men's rules and claims she wants "to be treated like one of the guys".

now, unless you're intending to admit that she's a bald faced liar who uses her sex and looks for every unfair advantage she can get you can't very well look down on a man who takes her up on the offer when she starts the physical contact. if she's ever dumb enough to do so. grabbing Wheldon's arm doesn't qualify. that would have been a good situation for Dan to have thrown her over his shoulder and put her back in her pit area for her keepers to take care of her though.

i actually don't have a problem with her wanting to go down and talk to him. her whining about "why did you take me out" though, that kind of pissed me off. yo Danica, you not only aren't the only thing on the track you haven't even managed to make yourself a serious part of the show. her rookie team mate, Mutoh, showed better than she did. Kanaan and Marco both went to the lead. she's not showing so good compared to her teammates and really needs to pick up the pace.

as has been noted, Briscoe lost control of his car for a bare fraction of a second and she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. it's Briscoe's "fault", but it's hardly intentional. Danica had no time to react. me, i'd have gone down and said something like "did we learn anything?" or "wish you'd try and control your car a little better next time". but unless Ryan makes a habit out of crashing into her it's nothing to lose your mind over.

and for those who want to string Briscoe up by the balls for "failing to control his car", you're going to have a hard time explaining the latter two examples ( the first incident is just Dario not paying attention ) in this video clip away:

it's hard to be all holier than thou when you've been one of the stupidest drivers out there. "I don't understand what happened, waaaah". maybe you shouldn't be driving a car.

every time i've seen Dario screw up, he knew what he did wrong and took responsibility. i don't think he belongs in NASCAR ( if he had concentration problems with only 20 cars in the field last year how is he supposed to handle a 43 car field with three wide racing? ) but at least he shows some self awareness.

yo Danica, you not only aren't the only thing on the track

And yet TV ratings dropped over 50% when she retired from the race ...
