Danika could win the next 10 titles in a series and there would be people out there that say, "Yea, well, she's got the best equipment, or it's not this or that series". What exactly is she doing to **** people off? Does she not work hard enough? Is she too lucky?

She impressed. Period. AND can only get better.

I could care less about ARCA, never seen a race EVER, but I watched that one because of her.
Another snow day....I'm home watching Nationwide practice on ESPN 2 (all other practice is on SpeedTV). They said that the ratings for the ARCA race were up 59% last weekend. Wow. This should be an interesting race Saturday.

OK, what race? I don't know what race you are talking about & where it will be shown.

The Nationwide race, on Saturday on ESPN2.. Danica is running the #7 car for JR (Earnhardt) motorsports. I've been home all week watching practice for the various series. Nationwide practice is being shown on ESPN 2, while Cup/trucks practice is on Speed. I figured that ESPN 2 is more "mainstream" than Speed. Seems like they figure more people will be watching since she's running in that series. Of course the Daytona 500 is on Fox.

I'm talking about in relation to talent level compared to their competitors.


And based on the pic VR just posted overall "talent" as well.
