If they do please let me know I want on that list. I think a fellow RL said it best ..what they are doing is working this is a Porsche Racing Thread with thousands of hits for a NASCAR event. Like it or not she brings in people and that is the show.

I first learned about Danica Patrick from an Automobile magazine article.
In 2003.
When she was racing Formula Atlantics (maybe it was 2004).
The media attention is HARDLY due to NACAR pushing it. Its been around since she was barely, if, old enough to drink.

That she's a better racer than the guys in this thread?
The hate starts young though....my 7 year old son was expecting her to crash out or blow an engine by lap 30. I wasnt prompting this at all. She has a better job than I do, even on her worst days. I cant hate on that.

Then what is your point of starting this thread in the first place?
Is this an after the fact "I told you so".
If she is as good as you seem to claim (and defend her as such), then why wouldn't you be confident in extrapolating her results from the first race to the second, third and 4th?
Clearly in F1 there are drivers who you assume, based on talent and driving good cars, will contend for the title.
Are you saying Danica is not in that class yet?

Good grief...give it a rest, son.
