I can't think of anyone who is more overrated than Jr. including Danica.

Sorry, I meant solely the #88 team vice the Hendrick Operation.

To be valuable to a sponser involves a LOT more than winning. Some people (sponsers, Jr, and Danica) understand that. Others win race after race and wonder why they don't have a good sponsership deal.

Danica gets in a racecar, and gets that car lots of airtime on TV.
Sponsor logo gets splashed across TV screen multiple times.
I think sponsors like that.

Too bad she can not be truthful and a nice person.
She's been like this since the early days in karting...no surprise.

Yep, Im torn. she has such a great face and just a little boxy boy body. However, that pose in the car in a that white bikini hides her "boyish" body look. either way, a chick that looks like that and races cars, is HOT!

I have to agree saying that her attitude stinks. You couldn't kick a smile out of here face OR get her to sign an autograph for a 10 year old fan, if it had a 100 bucks in it for her.
Aside from the nascar boys being good at turning left, they know that the fans are important and they do the best to drum up a following. 2 things that Danica can't do.
Hopefully next time she does a revealing photo, it's got black dots on it.

Seems somewhat fitting... Earnhardt Jr and Danica Patrick....owner/driver....both living off name recognition more than talent.

If this is true, then it takes away my last doubt. The other guy made a mistake and she called him on it.

I'm sure she's getting press (and seat time) that a more talented guy would not get. But racing's full of stories just like it. Guys with the right last name. Guys with last names that match the name of the big sponsor painted on the car. Attractive women. Actors. It's part of the game.

If she was a hot-headed young guy (e.g. Scott Speed?) saying these sorts of things, you wouldn't see people react the way they react to this "uppity woman."

Good grief...get a grip, people, and seek help for some serious misogyny.

I still just want to see her and Milka go at it, that would be something to watch.
It almost happened on pit wall once, that would have been some huge media coverage if it had !

I'd put my money on Danica on that one. I'm a Danica fan, but I would NOT want to be on her bad side!

Isn't Milka a bit too top heavy to be stable when she goes at it with Danica.
