And Milka spins in every session, spins on the outlap of the race, out of the race early, and DFL...

Sato crashes...

Nothing changes....

Milka.
She does pretty pirouettes.


She just got too much mass up top that's hindering her from finding the fine line of grip on the car.

When she final did come out she quickly got on her scooter, refused autographs pushed her way out and motored away. I saw this happen not once but TWICE!

Why do people put up with this is beyond me!
I saw the very same attitude last year at Long beach race. She probably thinks she´s better than Shumy... too much press exposure can do weird things, like Paris Hilton thinking she´s an star, oh well...

Danica really sucked today. Started at 21 out of 24. Only managed to finish in front of Graham Rahal, Tony Kanaan, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti, E.J. Viso, Scott Dixon, Dan Wheldon,... and a bunch of other drivers. What a hack she is. Obviously can't drive, and doesn't belong in the IRL. Milka did finish last BTW.

Danica did get a lot better as the race progressed.

I didn't get to see all of it, but in what I did see, she drove well, and the result she got in terms of improving position is something most anyone would be happy with.

Yes, she was one of the few who kept it off the wall and pointed in the right direction. Any race filled with yellows gives many drivers at the back to strategize their way near the front. Danica did admit to too much *****-footing around the first 30 laps. Like she said in the post race interview, she didnt want to do anything stupid. Good result for her!

Who else thinks Milka is going to cause a big wreck this year? They're blowing by either side of her...it's only a matter of time before she screws up...

Default DP
My opinion, although I'm not a Nascar fan, is that all the best American drivers are there. That's where the money is and money talks, at least for the pros. DP pales in relation to their talent. Also, to mention DP in the same breath as the historically great American drivers does them an immense disservice.

DP and NASCAR have something in common, but I just can't think of it...give me a minute.

Montoya was a top Indy and F1 driver and it took him years to learn the how to drive **** boxes in circles. You decided after a couple of feeder races that DP pales in relation to their talent. Put Jimmy Johnson in an IRL car on a street course and see how he does.

I don't even like Danica but at least I can see she has talent. Maybe not one of the best of all time but she's pretty damn good.

I agree with Jim. While I can see that holding a 3400 lb sled on the edge of it's friction circle for hours takes a very precise talent (and it looks like it is harder to learn), it is just not the same as having to brake it down, stuff it into the apex and get off the corner, up and down hills and blind corners etc. Oval tracks seem to develop only one facet of driving, while in road racing you have to be good at everything.

Not to mention they use all of their gears before they leave pit lane and the rest is throttle modulation. Might as well be automatic transmissions.

I have tried to watch it and see what the hook is? I just can not find it, but if everybody liked chocolate ice cream there would be no strawberry.
