I really didn't though. The larger point, despite her huge learning curve, is that yes she is a marketing phenomenom, but an even bigger YES to the question: Is she good for Nascar.

Danica makes people pay attention.

And who knows what little girl she inspires to follow in her footsteps, and what effect she can have on a generation.

Danica in Nascar will never be a bad thing to me.


Since Danny became all the rage in NASCAR, race attendance is down 24%. Shes not the savior. Go to a race & you wont see hardly any Danny shirts, hats or flags...anywhere. My beef with her all along has been that she is a lousy race car driver & doesn't deserve the attention that she gets, which is only due to the fact that she is a hot Female. Her star is flickering & will burn out soon.

We're still only 4 months into her rookie season.

You're gonna have to share a link for those attendance figures. It doesn't help that the economy has been in the shitter pretty much for that time frame you referenced, but I'd still like a link.

Now as far as TV ratings go thus far for 2013, one can look no further than The Daily Movement thread to see that the Fox ratings were UP year to date.

Scorehead, how many races have you been to get the figures of Danica apparel you are talking about?

I've been to 6 or 7 races in the last few years, both Sprint Cup & Nationwide Series. Outside of a few heavyweight Wisconsin type Women wearing Danica t shirts, you hardly ever see anyone wearing her gear.
Hardcore NASCAR fans aren't fans of hers.

oh god here we go again.

if every single driver in nascar was a stupid Caller Bob with big tits that wrecked their cars every race, attendance would be HUGE. but is that good for nascar? it wouldnt be the sport you once knew, but who cares right because attendance is up. the nba could get ratings by having their cheerleaders play 1 quarter every game, but then we dont really have basketball anymore, do we?

youre missing the point ks. watering down a sport just to get more "fans" doesnt help the game. danica is an abomination of nascar, and fans like me, who used to love the sport, rarely watch anymore because i am tired of people telling me "oh that danica is pretty good for a girl!" :rolleyes:

You guys sound like the grumpy old hockey fans that resent any new fans coming to the sport.

More eyes and more recognition for the sport is good.

You're NASCAR hipsters.

I am not really a big Danica fan other than I would fuck her over the other drivers. :lol: Seems to me though a lot of you guys are mad or resentful over the hype machine rather than the driving. I mean after all statistically there are worse drivers to pick on for their racing right?

There are several notable teams that have retreads drive a lap or two then park the car. How is that good for the sport?

how does that hurt the sport? theyre not telling fans "ooo watch those guys theyre such good racers!" creating a division of fanbase that doesnt even know what theyre watching.

the only reason danica is good for nascar is because half of nascar has always been advertising. more then half really. so if you want nascar to be a pile of shit 4 hour long commercial, danica is perfect for the "sport".

exactly. theyre hyping her to draw ratings not because shes actually one of the best. they dont just do this with her, but shes the main focus the last few years. she pissed off so many people in indy car they couldnt wait to get rid of her. corporate loved her though, of course.

The other drivers aren't being pushed & promoted because they are hot. The Danny promotion far exceeds her ability to drive a race car. Its beyond ridiculous.

I realize that's just a funny quip and everything, but I'm willing to bet that in upwards of 1 BILLION people, maybe more, know who Danica is over James fucking Franco.

Danica Patrick owns James Franco.


and that proves what point other then at least 1 billion people are fucking stupid?

Today's top 15 finish is obviously only the beginning.

She's found her groove now and is poised to be a contender every week.

I would think she would do all right on the road course, if she qualifies well...

Danica Patrick featured on "In the Game with Robin Roberts":

The second season of espnW's In the Game with Robin Roberts presented by Lexus will debut Thursday, June 20, online at espnW.com and abcnews.com, as well as on ESPN's SportsCenter. In the Game, produced by espnW in partnership with ABC News, is a series of intimate interviews with top athletes in sports today. In the season premiere, Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts  formerly a longtime ESPN anchor  sits down for a one-on-one with NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. The interviews will focus on "pursuit of perfection" in each athlete's career, sport, and life. In addition to Patrick, confirmed guests include US Women's National team forward Alex Morgan and Gold Medal gymnast Gabby Douglas.


The difference being that the confirmed guests are both good at their sport.

When a legend calls you out, it just doesn't get any worse-

http://msn.foxsports.com/video?videoid= ... epermalink


then, her response is admitting to sucking! then saying how she is there to motivate little girls and keep sponsors happy, effectively backing up everything petty said :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/d ... 813#!gAijR

at least she knows what she is, and this finally concludes the story on her career.
