FIXED.

First off, for those of you too ignorant to know the difference, NASCAR is not a wax and it is not lawn mower racing. It does involve hillbillies, tho.

Danica is an open wheel race car driver. She currently drives Indy and drove CART a couple of years ago. The CART series makes it's way here every year for the Centrix Financial (Shaggy's company) Gran Prix of Denver. A very cool event, indeed. They close off the downtown streets and TEAR THEM UP! One year, we had paddock passes and she let us check out her trailer and sit in the car and stuff. A very cool, composed and collected young lady. I think she's only 26 now and has finished (many do not) the Indy 500 in 4th and 8th place in the last 2 years.

So, as I said earlier...Go Danica!

So, what you're saying is that Shaggy is pretty much a girl? Agreed.

I am pretty sure Danica did those pics before getting major sponsors- which in turn led her to get the major sponsorships. I don't like it and she prolly didn't either. I had to go a similar route to get bigger sponsors in local surfing- nothing whorey- just looking cute- good for marketing on both aspects- it is sad but it works. Same with men and women in various fields.

Para- it would have been pretty sweet a few seconds earlier (have to look at the difference- twas pretty close) But.....I could care either way and 2nd and 3rd ain't ("ain't" is common in Nascar ) too shabby.

There are better female drivers who aren't as attractive and are ignored.

Thus far, Ms. Patrick is just a marketing event. The photo sitting on the rear bumper of the '57 Chevy confirms that. If she ever wins a race, she may become something else.

I apologize if I have offended some, but that's how I see it.

Congratulations to Roger Penske whose very clever fueling of his driver's car during a pit lane penalty (something that isn't allowed in Formula 1) enabled Sam Hornish to win the race.

Danica Patrick = Anna Kournikova
Moderately pretty, but pretty moderate talent.

She is also from Wisconsin.

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!

ROFLOL Thanks Dennis I needed a good laugh.

And yes sex sells. If INDY/NASCAR had bikini clad women drivers or better yet pit crews it'd make for more enjoyable viewing

Beloit, WI is what I read in an article. OK, it was her birthplace.

My, what a long torso you have.

Though your pudgy puss is quite intriguing. That wasn't what I was looking for.
