Putting her GD foot to the floor and driving it until the wheels fall off! :mad:

Anyway, I've come to a realization about people who personally attack others for not seeing DP in the same angelic glow as they do and oddly enough it has nothing to do with Danica Patrick at all. Just watch and you'll see ;)

I do not see her in an angelic glow, but I think she could be treated a little more fairly by the old boys network of nascar.
Im optimistic for her future.

I don't think you're a zealot about her and I doubt anyone else does either. Which is kind of funny considering you're the only one here that has her as their primary favorite driver. You seem like a normal fan to me.

To you I say good luck to her.

Probably but the old boys network here have mostly supported her and for varying reasons.

FTR, I find your posts well thought out and not personal towards anyone else and I for one respect that :cheers:

Noooooo no. I dont want the mighty wrath of you. Can only imagine what you would come up with after the cyber attacks you're putting this board through with your avatar changes.

Pretty sure if boards had emotions, they'd hate you. :p

Danica Patrick was born on March 25, 1982, in Beloit, Wisconsin. She dropped out of high school to pursue racing. In 2002, she signed with Rahal- Letterman Racing. Patrick was the fourth woman to race in the Indianapolis 500. Her 4th place finish was the highest ever for a female driver and she was the first woman ever to lead in the race. In early 2013, Patrick won the time trials at the Daytona 500, becoming the first woman to win the pole position at the famous NASCAR event,

Quotes
"I was brought up to be the fastest driver, not the fastest girl. That's how I've always approached my racing career. I've been lucky enough to make history and be the first woman to do many things. We have a lot more history to make and we are excited to do it."

– Danica Patrick
and went on to place eighth in the race.

Early Life and Career
Born Danica Sue Patrick on March 25, 1982, in Beloit, Wisconsin, Danica Patrick began racing go-karts with her sister at age 10, and dropped out of high school to advance her racing career in England. It was there that she finished second at the Formula Ford Festival, the highest-ever finish by either a woman or an American in the event.

In 2002, Patrick signed with Rahal-Letterman Racing, which is co-owned by former driver Bobby Rahal and talk show host David Letterman. During the next two years, Patrick achieved moderate success and was a consistent finisher on the podium, but never won a race.

Top Driver
In 2005, Patrick became the fourth woman to race in the Indianapolis 500. Her fourth place finish was the highest ever for a female driver, besting the previous record of ninth set by Janet Guthrie in 1978. She led 19 laps of the race, becoming the first woman ever to lead the Indy 500. Later that year at Kansas Speedway, she won her first pole position to become the second woman to accomplish this feat in the IRL (Indy Racing League) IndyCar Series. Patrick was named Rookie of The Year at the 2005 IRL Championship.

Patrick's 2006 year began tragically when teammate Paul Dana was killed in a crash the morning of the Toyota Indy 300. Patrick had solid top ten finishes throughout her IRL campaign that year, coming in 9th place in the standings. Among many honors, she was named Female Athlete of the Year by the United States Sports Academy.

In 2008, Patrick made history when she became the first woman to win a IndyCar race. She made an impressive showing at the Indianapolis 500 the following year, coming in third in that event. In February 2013, Patrick won the time trials at the Daytona 500. This victory made for another first—she became the first woman to win the pole position at the famous NASCAR event. "I was brought up to be the fastest driver, not the fastest girl," Patrick said, according to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway website. "That's how I've always approached my racing career. I've been lucky enough to make history and be the first woman to do many things. We have a lot more history to make and we are excited to do it." At the 2013 Daytona 500, held a week later, Patrick came in eighth place.

I like the part I bolded. She does not want to be seen as a "girl" that drives fast, she wants to be a fast driver.

I understand what you're saying but she herself has already sailed that ship

Hey, She is using all of her talnets. She knows she wont race forever. Its smart actually. For example, most NFLers realize they wont play the game forever so they try and establish themselves as a commentator, spokesperson for something. She is doing the same. Alot of people have issue with the fact that shes an attractive woman and she is marketing that. No different.

I hope and pray that she moves away from the super sexy stuff as I want to see her as a model for teens girls.

I bet that if you asked her if she wanted to be a bikini model or win a NASCAR race she would choose the win

As most any of us would do but I can't get into porn because of my "endowment" and then claim I want to be taken seriously as an actor. Fender, nevermind!

I wish she hadnt started doing all the half naked crap, there are plenty of other women out there to do that stuff. Young women need a good role model these days, they need to know they can be successful with their clothes on IMO
 
The bikini stuff is a side show to her racing, I feel and hope. She wants to a racer first. everything she has said points that way.

If it turns out I am wrong I will be disapointed
 
Joe Namath posed with nothing on but pantyhose for commercials and he posed nude in Playgirl magazine and nobody gave a crap, they thought it was funny. And there have been many others since but they are men so It's okay.

I enjoy the bikini photos as much as anyone, I just dont think she needed to go there. I watched her lead and nearly win the Indy 500, thats a pretty big statement she sent the world right there.
 
LOL. There's a political technique that gets used with great efficiency and here's how it goes...

When a politician gets called out on something, he waits for his supporters to dig their heels in and say " so, look what ********** did, how's that any different?" What then happens is the main issue gets lost in the name calling and verbal assaults until people completely forget about what that politician did in the first place. Hence, he gets off the hook - that simple.

This thread is about Danica Patrick. What others have or have not done has nothing to do with anything.

I actually agree. This is about her. She has done some scantily clad stuff, yes. I for one feel and hope this stops soon so we can concentrate on her racing

As for the playgirl stuff, I never went there

Me either but they were plastered everywhere, even on TV but shaded out.
 
Racing is not checkers. Some people go for Chex or Wrex.


Edit: apparently lots of cars are getting sideways.
