Re: Go Danica!
Sexy sells, sad but true and I like sexy... Danica is helping open wheeled racing by bringing awareness to young girls and women that they could too if they wanted.
I compare her passion to - and don't freak - Jeff Gordon. Yes, Jeff is a wining mother #&^%er, but he's wasn't a southern good-ole-boy and he was very young. He upset the NASCAR world by wining and changed things forever in that world. Danica is doing her best to enter a mens only club and once she gets a few wins under her belt I think more women will enter that co-ed club too. Remember Shirley Muldowney and how about up coming Melanie Troxel -Top Fuel.
Isn't it also obvious, (where weight is everthing), that a 105 lb women that can push her car and crew to it's limits would do better that a 175 - 200 lb guy in the same car. All cars are the same weight - correct?
I'd like to see a all black female crew with Tyra Banks as the driver in F1! Or better yet how about Ziyi Zhang from Crouching Tiger? but that's just me... Anything to upset the balance of a male dominated racing world. Sexy sells - period!
