I've got absolutely NO problem with a woman in NASCAR, NHRA, Indy, etc., it really doesn't bother me one bit.
Watching NASCAR, the NHRA, and Indy going on 30+ years, I realize it's "a show" (NASCAR having placed too much priority on the show versus racing IMO). So I don't blame an individual because they're overhyped by one of the racing organizations.
What I DO have a problem with is drivers, who when involved in an accident, rarely accept it as part of the nature of the sport, and ALWAYS blame others and act as though they're "entitled", either because of their success, or the focus placed on them by the sport.
IMO, Danica falls into the category above, and she is by no means alone. I accept the fact of human nature that one will react by being angry when involved in a wreck, but I respect drivers who accept it as a part of the sport, avoid walking down pit lane to scream at another driver, etc., and MOVE ON.
Danica has talent...and I admire her spirit...if she could just STOP acting like an entitled spoiled brat, I might actually be interested in her racing career. Until then, I'll view her, and other drivers like the Busch brothers,
as talent, overpayed, spoiled brats.
