A few more top flight American racers would probably help plus more engine manufacturers other than just one that they have had for many years now. Honda doesn't even make a true sporty, high performance vehicle anymore. Would be nice to see Ford, Chevy, BMW, and MB enter the fray. When I was a kid, the Indy 500 race was huge with many different engine manufacturers and chassis. Now it's a spec race.

People who think she shouldn't be in the IRL have no clue.
People who think she's one of the top drivers in IRL have no clue.
She's more than competent but I'd never put money on her to win/place/show.

Danika's entire career accomplishment comes down to winning one race because the leader ran out of gas. I would be embarrassed if I were a professional driver with that record.

It's totally irrelevant that she is doing better than any of us. It's her peers that she should be doing better than, and the truth is she has been unable to do that. She is a middle-of-the-pack driver at best. When people talk about racing champions, they don't include Danika.

Also, I would never be embarrassed as a professional (meaning paid) driver regardless of my record. Heck, I am an amateur, have never won a pro race (and only a few amateur races) and I am still not embarrassed of my driving.

How many drivers bring as much exposure and money to the series as Danica?
Based on the original poll in this thread, there are a lot of people that should hang it up before Danica.

Don't know - don't care. I'm not even sure where she drives. Did she move from Indy to NASCAR or vice versa?
I do know that the Go Daddy ads are tacky and embarrassing. I'm sure she's embarrassed all the way to the bank up to the point when she cashes the cheque.

Larry, I believe it is relevant that she is doing better than us. I mean, who are we to say that she's some horrific driver? Can we do any better? And then, as well, she makes it (qualifies) for these races. That alone is quite an achievement. I just believe that some folks, perhaps yourself included, are missing the point. It takes serious driving skill to even be able to qualify, let alone to win. I think it's just 23 cars that qualify, right? And did you see how many tried out? So she's not just better than a half dozen folks, she's also better than the ones that never even qualified.
These are just my thoughts. Doesn't make me right and doesn't make you wrong. But I can't believe someone has picked (the OP) on a driver who made it in with an elite group. Even if I was last to qualify, I'd be walking in sunshine if I even made it.
