Wow - you guys are really going after Larry (especially Kurt)... I do not find his posts to be that offensive on this thread, but so many of you are all over him like flies on ****. This must be some pent-up animosity based on other threads/experiences...
Nonetheless, I agree with Larry. I could really do without Danicas attitude - though readily admit that she is "good for the sport" in the sense that she drives interest... Personally, I'd rather see the top drivers on the track battling it out... IMHO, she is highly over-rated.

She finished 6th today. A solid race, and the 45th time in a row that she was running at end. Her race car looked a little weird after that final restart spin out, but she was on grid to run again if the race officials gave the green again. I guess Franchitti had a streak of 42 races before he took himself out today. The replay pretty much showed him running into Sato at restart. Danica may not be the fastest, but her racing judgement out there is incredible. She seems to be impatient in pits, but on race course she always seems to make the right decision as far as judgement goes.

Her judgement on track is good. Perhaps a bit too conservative at times, but she clearly has the objective of making sure she always finishes. That's more than a lot of the other drivers out there can say for themselves.
