If she was a guy, no one wod have ever heard of her and I doubt she'd still be driving due to her dismal record.
You know what i can't stand? People that hate other people because the media overhypes that person. is that Danica's fault? I think its pretty sad really. i mean, do you have any other reasons? Have you met her? Was she rude to you? Did she steal your cereal?

No, I haven't met her and don't care to. I think I have a valid reason - she's a terrible driver with a horrible record who, if she was anyone else, would have been fired long ago. I feel the same way a about anyone that can't do their job, yet is still kept on the payroll.

She wasn't rude to me, but I've seen enough to know she's a b! Worst of all, she constantly blames others for her failures.

As for stealing my cereal, I doubt she's fast enough to steal anything

I met her, she's not that rude. Not any more rude than I'd be if I was trying to walk somewhere and people just wouldn't leave me the F alone. She took her time to talk for a few minutes then said she had to go, and walked off... No big deal.

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.

I had no idea Danica has been giving drivers lessons on how to wreck, Dale Sr would be alive today if she had been in the sport earlier.
