I laugh at the jealousy. She parlayed her popularity into a goldmine for herself.
She single-handily saved INDY 10 years ago after it was on life support
Crowds and sponsorships wained at NASCAR after the 2008 economic meltdown. Patrick has helped that industry too the last couple years.
Patrick is getting interviewed after placing 8th becasue she made history for a female in a good-ol boys' southern male sport run and watched by a bunch of sexist rednecks.....and jealous females
Besides---who the hell wants to watch Ryan Newman or Greg Biffle get interviewed? TV execs know Patrick is a big part of NASCAR's future in the next ten years
I get my back up when I feel like I'm being lumped in with the bandwagon fans. I was never a fan of Sr. and likely wouldn't have been because he's like Kyle Busch and I don't like him. I think Jr. would be the first to tell you he'd be more than happy to never get a mention. He's never going to be a guy like Brad who plays up the social media. He just wants to race - the last couple years I've really noticed that he's gotten better at his post-race interviews. Seems much more confident and comfortable than in the past. I get annoyed when they him or any driver nonstop when they aren't doing anything to warrant it - which obviously isn't something that Dale or Danica can solely be in control of. I guess I feel like she's trying so hard to get attention.....lots of sexy ads/promotions, getting a divorce and now conveniently dating a fellow rookie of the year contender, when she should just let her talent speak for her.
lol, if you think I'm jealous of her, you're so wrong. I'm disappointed more than anything.
For you people who have ZERO sense of history and perspective, for Patrick to enter NASCAR full-time this year for the first time and IMMEDIATELY win the POLE for the DAYTONA 500---is fricking amazing (as a female to boot)
Love watching strong females threaten the ballsacks of ignorant males
this isn't 1955. Betty Crocker has left the building

That would make for a strange Wrangler ad...
"Yo, guys, check out how comfortable those jeans are that I'm not wearing".
"so comfortable it's like I'm not wearing anything, so that's what I've decided to demonstrate today"
Love Danica half-naked
For the first time I thought GoDaddy Super Bowl commercial was disturbing and awful however
Being "successful" at Daytona/Talladega completely different than any other track. With the restrictor plate, it equalizes everybody. Wait till we get a few races in at "real" tracks, then we will see how good Danica is.
:twitcy:another threatened dude...... chill out. she ain't apologizing cuz she 's not home cooking you dinner.
If it's so "EASY", why didn't Michael waltrip with 35 years experience win the pole?
gawd the excuses sound like they're from Hawk fans
LMAO

Surprisingly though very few unknown have won the 500.
Daytona 500 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oh jambawamba another one of your over the top rants. This one shockingly not about Iowa even though you did manage to talk about Iowa. Obsessed much with Iowa? Ah nvm we all know how that story will end. CMJ is right the restrictor plate races are different it levels the playing field. Danica will not do this well the rest of the year.
Cue your another threatened dude response from you.
Agreed. I thought she drove really, really well today. I didn't see what happened to cause her to drop from 3rd after the last restart though. I kept waiting for her to team up with somebody and go low but I guess it was nearly impossible to pass today.
I bet you Danicas avg finish this season is worse than 22nd. She wont contend in a race that isnt at Talledega or Daytona.
And, Im not threatened at all, how would I be? I just see her for what she is, the most overrated driver in NASCAR, like Jr. for his whole career.
